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.
Preferably use ath.git main branch 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:
