I have no doubt that you are genuinely willing to improve things going
forward. I'd prefer to iron out the process issues before we accept any
more code. Specifically I think the process issue is that Chelsio does
not have a (competent) engineer assigned to participating upstream, and
explicitly given some amount of time a day to read the ML and review
other people's code. There may be no cxgb4 patches on the ML right now
but there's plenty of submissions for other drivers. Please start
reading the list, engaging, reviewing, asking questions which indicate
your understanding of the code and the process.. And if things are
going well, in a month or so we can revisit this rejection.
