Hi Mark I agree with Greg here. Patches against linux-next are no problem. I'm responsible for merging changes in linux-next back into the batman repo. Having said that, before deciding to work on something, it probably is worth looking at the batman repo. There is no point you reproducing work we have already done, but is just queued up waiting to be sent to Greg, or is in Gregs backlog of patches to apply. Basically, i would not bother doing plain checkpatch patches. We are mostly on top of that and any in linux-next are probably already fixed in the batman repo. However if you want to do some work with more meat on it, look for security problems, memory leaks, race conditions, lockdep etc, such patches would greatly be appreciated, independent of which repo they are against.
