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: ath12k@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 ath12k patch review from patchwork:

Guidelines
~~~~~~~~~~

The ath12k patch guidelines are the same as :doc:`ath10k guidelines <../ath10k/submittingpatches>`.

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

ath12k supports two hardware families:

- QCN9274 PCI AP devices
- WCN7850 PCI mobile devices

Just like with ath10k, all ath12k patches need to account all supported
hardware families.
