Hello Developers,

At our company, we maintain an internal thermal framework patch. We are exploring the option to up-stream this patch so we don't have to keep porting this from one Kernel version to the other.

Thermal framework code resides here: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/thermal?

What is the correct source tree we should use from https://git.kernel.org/??

Thanks,

Anand

Use the tool, scripts/get_maintainer.pl on your patch and it will identify the subsystem and mailing list where you need to send your change to.

If you work off of the linux-next branch, that is a good start as that contains a sum of all kernel maintainer's tree, as the Documentation/process/ document explains, and is the easiest to work off of to start with.

Hope this helps,

greg k-h

Hey Daniel,

Thank you for for the information. In the future, If I have to find this information by myself, is there a document for this?
I was looking at https://www.kernel.org/doc/linux/MAINTAINERS and there are several references to thermal here, but I did not see any mention of the tree you pointed me to.

Thanks,
Anand

Hi Anand,

yeah, actually it is a bit fuzzy because we did a small reorg.

You can either send to the tree pointed in the MAINTAINERS file or against the tree I pointed below. I would recommend to use the later. In any case it will be synced with the one in MAINTAINERS when we are close to the release.
