Hi all,
I am new in this list and there are some points which are not very clear
to me. But first of all, I read the todo list and worked on the point to
get rid of the 'old-fashioned' way to access the driver_data field
direct and replaced them with the proper dev_get/set_drvdata or
pci_get/set_drvdata.
I created the patch like mentioned in the patchsubmitting-howto of the
source documentation, and have tested it. What are now the further
steps, just sending the patch as attachement to this list? Another
question is, which original source code version should be taken..2.6.6
(as I did) or the most actual from the cvs tree?
Very many thanks in advance for helping me making the first steps ;)
greets
ys
PS. As I have seen while working on my patch, tty->driver_data should
also not accessed directly, and for the consistency tty_get_drvdata and
tty_set_drvdata should be added too and called instead of the direct
access. Is this the right list to discuss this matter? Or is it in work?
