Hello Debian Developers,

I'm reaching out on behalf of Google to request information on the procedure for pulling our cloud driver, the Google Compute Engine Ethernet driver (gve), into Debian 10 (Buster).

This driver has been accepted into the upstream Linux kernel since version 5.2.(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/ethernet/google?h=v5.4.46).

We would like to know what steps to take next in order to get the driver included in Debian 10.

Best

David Awogbemila
