The Linux kernel follows a structure for patch submissions. There?s a tutorial on github with a pdf and readmes. https://github.com/gregkh/kernel-tutorial Tutorial Videos on YouTube by GregKH are also very useful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLBrBBImJt4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXix80GCvpo These will give an overview of the entire process. It would be nice if you could push your current working kernel somewhere on a git server where we could see the patches and then provide guidance accordingly. If you don't have a public-facing git server. You could just push the code to a repository on github and share the link.
