Hi,
If I submit a new driver to net-2.6 tree (e.g. sierra_net driver that
was applied to net-2.6 tree) where do I submit subsequent patches for
that driver - net-2.6 tree or net-next-2.6 tree? 

Thanks,
Elina

It depends upon the severity of the fix.

At this stage in the game on the most serious fixes are going
in, fixes for things that cause crashes and the like.  However
since a new driver we might be a little bit more lenient since
changes to a new driver can harm less people.

Thank you, David.

Would you please apply
[PATCH 1/1] net/usb: initiate sync sequence in sierra_net.c driver
 which is a very serious fix and affects the driver's functionality.
Sorry, it was my bad.

I tested this patch  with USB 306.

Thanks,
Elina
