Getting DSS2 to mainline
Hi,
As I'm new to sending patches upstream, I'm not sure how to go forward with DSS2 now. Should I send it to linux-arm-kernel mailing list, or directly to main linux kernel mailing list? Or is there a route through fbdev-devel list for DSS2 to go forward?

I am also new to this process but from what I've heard I decided to always cc Andrew Morton <[email protected]> when I think that something is mature enough for inclusion. That works very well, thanks Andrew. Sending them only to linux-fbdev-devel looks rather like a dead end at least if I look on the fate of some patches in the archive.
I always cc the LKML but until now I didn't hear anything from there either so I doubt that would be the right way.
I'm sorry if anything of the above is incorrect, it's just my experience.

Yes, CCing Andrew Morton is The Right Thing To Do.
Thanks!

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.

I suggest send them to fbdev-devel list and cc linux-omap. For the clock alias patches you might want to also cc linux-arm-kernel.
