Hi Greg K-H,

I have spoken to Teddy Wang of Silicon Motion and he has agreed to give me a SM712 board. He will also be giving his guidance in the code. And we both will be the Maintainer of the code.

I will send you the patch to revert your commit after i have received the board from Teddy Wang and I have done my initial testing.

Just have a few questions, and I hope you can help me with them :-
1) do i need to have git server somewhere to send you pull request or i send you patches?
2) the tree on which i will be working that will be based on which tree : linux-next, staging-next or staging-testing?

I hope you will not mind if I ask for your suggestions whenever i get a doubt (which I will get many), after all i am still a newbie here.

thanks
sudip
