It's up to you, but early is always better (with the caveat below) and you're likely to get some feedback. At a minimum, it lets others know that there's something in progress and they may wish to contribute/test etc. If you post a preliminary one, just be sure to comment in the patch description that it is preliminary, and has not been tested etc. Kevin _______________________________________________ Davinci-linux-open-source mailing list [email protected] http://linux.davincidsp.com/mailman/listinfo/davinci-linux-open-source
