Submitting patches
==================

Send patches to the mailing lists below. Kalle Valo reviews the patches
within the next few days and, if they are ok, commits them to ath.git.

* To: ath11k@lists.infradead.org
* Cc: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org

Preferably use :doc:`ath.git main branch <../ath10k/sources>` as the
baseline for patches. Other trees can be used as well, but then the
chances of conflicts are higher.

You can follow the state of ath11k patch review from patchwork:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/?state=*&q=ath11k

Guidelines
~~~~~~~~~~

The ath11k patch guidelines are the same as :doc:`ath10k guidelines
<../ath10k/submittingpatches>`.

Hardware families
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ath11k supports two hardware families:

- IPQ8074 SoC AP devices
- QCA6390 PCI mobile devices

Just like with ath10k, all ath11k patches need to account all supported
hardware families.

Tested-on tag
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Testing information needs to be provided using Tested-on tag. Few
Tested-on tag examples::

   Tested-on: IPQ8074 hw2.0 AHB WLAN.HK.2.1.0.1-00410-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-2
   Tested-on: IPQ6018 hw1.0 AHB WLAN.HK.2.1.0.1-01161-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
   Tested-on: QCA6390 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HST.1.0.1-01230-QCAHSTSWPLZ_V2_TO_X86-1
