[PATCH] add README

[PATCH] add README

[Stephen Hemminger]

This project is missing a proper README which is used in
other projects and some git visualization services.
Only a starting point, please feel free to edit.
To keep the file short and current, I avoided putting any specific
information about features and versions.

+MMC tools (mmc-utils)
+=====================
+
+mmc-utils is a tool for configuring MMC storage devices from userspace.
+
+Contribution guidelines
+-----------------------
+
+The project works using a mailing list patch submission process, similar to the
+process used for the Linux kernel itself.
+
+One can document themselves by reading how to submit a patch in the official
+Linux kernel documentation:
+https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html
+
+Not all sections apply but it should be a good way to get started.
+
+A patch should be sent as a mail (not as an attachement, see documentation
+abiove) to the linux-mmc@vger.kernel.org mailing list with maintainers as
+Cc recipients.
