[Bug 202490] Re: [Feature Request] Provide a driver for Ricoh R5C822 xD card reader

[Chase Douglas]

@Maxim Levitsky:

Just so you are aware, we generally prefer changes to come into Ubuntu
through the linux-2.6-stable kernel tree. If you are aiming to get the
driver into Lucid, I suggest creating a series of patches against the
current linux-2.6.32.y branch of the -stable tree. If your modifications
do not change existing code (i.e. they only add code to the kernel),
then there's a greater chance it will be accepted into the -stable tree.
If it is accepted into the -stable tree it will get pulled into the
Lucid kernel automatically. See the
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt file in the kernel tree for more
details about the -stable tree process.

If your driver is not accepted into the -stable tree, we may still be
able to include it in the Lucid kernel, but the first step is to try to
get it into the -stable tree.
