[Buildroot] where to commit a kernel modification?

[MERCADIER Johann]

Hi all,

  I would like to brings some modification to the kernel necessary to
enable headset o/p to produce sound. Without it the twl6040 is not enabled
as not registered when module is loaded. Where should I commit this?

thanks.

 Obviously not here :-)

 Where to submit it to depends on where you're making changes.  There
is a script in the kernel source to help you:

./scripts/get_maintainer.pl <patchfile>

or

./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f <sourcefile>


 Look carefully at the output and consider for each e-mail address if
it is really appropriate.  Common sense is important here.


 Regards,
 Arnout

Just a few advises:
1. Don't forget to run ./script/checkpatch.pl and
./script/get_maintainers.pl to your patch before submit.
The latter will tell you who should you send the patch to.
2. Kernel is divided in subsystems, and you should base your patches
in a specific git tree,
according to the subsystem you'll be patching.
3. Try to avoid top posting in the future, kernel devs don't like it.
4. Don't get discouraged if you get NACKS at first.

Good luck ;)
Ezequiel.
