Subject: tree for the greybus subsystem

Hello,

I am fixing a coding style problem in the loopback bridge driver for
the Greybus loopback module. The source code file (please see [0]) is
located in the staging tree for the linux-next.

In order to create the patch, I need to find the right development
tree. I checked the MAINTAINERS file for the Greybus subsystem
development tree but could not find one. I also searched [1] for
"greybus", but without success.

What is the development tree for the greybus subsystem?

Regards,
Dileep

[0]: drivers/staging/greybus/loopback.c
[1]: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/

As the staging subsystem is how this code flows into the tree:

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl drivers/staging/greybus/loopback.c
"Bryan O'Donoghue" <[email protected]> (maintainer:GREYBUS LOOPBACK DRIVER)
Johan Hovold <[email protected]> (maintainer:GREYBUS SUBSYSTEM)
Alex Elder <[email protected]> (maintainer:GREYBUS SUBSYSTEM)
Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> (maintainer:GREYBUS SUBSYSTEM)
[email protected] (moderated list:GREYBUS SUBSYSTEM)
[email protected] (open list:STAGING SUBSYSTEM)
[email protected] (open list)

Then the staging.git tree as shown in MAINTAINERS is the correct one.

But you should always be able to just use linux-next as a default if you
can't figure out what tree to use.

thanks,

Hello Greg,

Thank you for your reply.

I have submitted my patch against the staging.git tree, branch staging-next.
