The patches I have, are not based on code already accepted to mainline.

But there are some other devices available on market (Maxtor MSSII for Ex.) but they won't be officially supported by vanilla kernel.Why not?Therefor I was thinking about additional kernel images and patches against kernel-source available in debian repositories.If you have patches for those platforms already, why not send them to linux-arm-kernel@ ? port them before they could be used as diff to already submitted code. In addition some features patches rely on, not in patches already submitted to Mainline. But, maybe basic support for some of devices could be added to mainline, I'll check that. Thank you for giving me an idea :-) |
