Inquiry About Submitting Chip Support Patches for Debian Kernel

Show all headers | View raw

Dear Debian Kernel Team,

I am a developer at CIX technology company, an ARM chip manufacturer.
We are actively using Debian as our default development system
internally and are committed to ensuring our chipset is well-supported
in the Linux ecosystem.

We have been working on patches to add support for our chipset in the
Linux kernel and are in the process of upstreaming these changes to
the mainline kernel. However, as upstreaming can take time, we would
like to inquire whether Debian would be open to accepting these
patches into the Debian kernel in the interim.

Our goal is to:

Submit our chip support patches to the Debian kernel, ensuring better
out-of-the-box compatibility for users.

Continue working to get these patches merged into the mainline Linux kernel.

Once the patches are accepted upstream, remove the redundant patches
from the Debian kernel to align with the mainline code.

We believe this approach would benefit both our internal development
workflow and Debian users who may use our hardware. Please let us know
if this is something Debian would consider.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We greatly appreciate the
work the Debian community does and would be happy to collaborate
further to ensure smooth integration.

Looking forward to your response.

Best regards,
