Almost every subsystem has its own next git tree, since it's a networking driver issue, please verify your fix against net-next: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git/ And send the patch to netdev maillist: http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#netdev You need also CC the driver maintainer by looking at linux_source_code/MAINTAINERS, or using ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl. > > -- > Arvid Brodin | Consultant (Linux) > ALTEN | Knarrarnäsgatan 7 | SE-164 40 Kista | Sweden > [email protected] | www.alten.se/en/ > ________________________________ > Xdin is changing its name.
