Sending patches

We currently use the Mailing list as a code review and integration tool, feel free to send your patches using git send-email.

Patches for New Devices
Patches going upstream (mainline) are managed on other mailing lists and by their particular maintainers. You need not subscribe to these list for sending patches. To ensure your patches integrate well, use the following repositories. Find information how to actually make the modifications in the section linked in the Topic column.

Patches for Tools and Drivers
The main repositories to clone and base from are all maintained at GitHub ( https://github.com/linux-sunxi/ ) - these include linux kernel sources, u-boot sources, tools and other associated libraries such as MALI 3D graphics and CEDAR Video engine.
