Hi,
I downloaded a 2.6.30.4 vanilla kernel source tree, merged it with alsa 1.0.20 by copying the files into my kernel source tree, and used that as a base for modifying a sound driver module.
I want to submit a patch because I got a new device working. I cloned alsa-kernel git and merged my changes into the tree and committed it.
Now, how do I compile it to test it? Do I need to clone linux-2.6 git? I would prefer not to clone that whole tree if possible... I tried copying the sound directory from my working alsa-kernel git tree into a 2.6.30.4 vanilla kernel tree, but it doesnt work.
Please help.
