Since this is my very first time stepping up as a kernel maintainer, I was hoping to get some pointers on what to do to make this happen.
So far, we have set up a new kernel tree and I have set up a local development and test environment for SH kernels using my SH7785LCR board as the target platform.
Do I just need to send a patch asking to change the corresponding entry in the MAINTAINERS file?
I'm not sure a there is a document, but:
- add the MAINTAINERS change to your tree
- ask Stephen to get your tree included in linux-next
then eventually send a pull request to Linus with all of that. Make sure it's been in linux-next for a while.
OK, thanks for the pointers! Will try to get this done by next week.
We're still discussing among SuperH developer community whether there will be a second maintainer, so please bear with us a few more days. I will collect patches in the meantime.
Thanks a lot!
If you need any help with process, setup, ... don't hesitate to ask (on e.g. #renesas-soc on Libera).
Thanks a lot! I've got some real-life tasks to do today, but I will join later today.
And I will ask questions ;-).
Adrian
