Hi all,

Following a short checklist for submitting omap patches. I've also posted it to:

http://www.muru.com/linux/omap/README_OMAP_PATCHES

Does anybody have comments or something that should be added?

Regards,

Tony

Submitting OMAP patches version 20060428

As linux-omap tree is almost in sync with the mainline kernel, all core omap patches need to in suitable format for sending upstream.

The reason for this is to produce a clean revision history, make maintenance easier, and give proper credit to the patch author.

The core omap patches include anything that touches the following directories:

arch/arm/plat-omap
arch/arm/mach-omap1
arch/arm/mach-omap2
include/asm-arm/arch-omap

Anything else is considered non-core omap code, and must be in separate patches.

When submitting a patch, please check the following:

- Patch follows linux/Documentation/CodingStyle

- Patch follows linux/Documentation/SubmittingPatches

- Patch subject must be [PATCH] ARM: OMAP: Subject of the patch

- Patch body must contain short description of the patch

- Patch body must contain proper Signed-off-by: line

- Non-core patches are in separate patches
