Linux 4-10 v 4.13 patching

[Patrick Venture]

I'm sorry as I probably missed the email, should I send patches
against linux 4.10 or 4.13 or both?

Thanks,
Patrick

Good question. If you want something to boot this week, send them to both.

If you're just wanting to get them in the tree, then just send them to 4.13.

I am working on 4.13 but it's not ready to go yet.

Cheers,

Joel

Thanks.  When sending to both, do I need to send a patch for each,
dev-4.10, dev-4.13 in the header or is it better to not specify the
branch in this case?

If you send two mails then it will be easiest for me to track. I'd
vote for this.

If you think that will get too spammy, then just specify the branches
you want them applied to in your cover letter.

Cheers,
