pinephone pro mainlining guide
Show content

decided to write a guide on how to mainline the rest of the patches for the pinephone pro: https://forum.mainlining.org/t/upstream-pinephone-pro-patches/138

no programming experience required (well maybe just a tad)! just a willingness to learn. also you need the pinephone pro to be able to mainline :P

@Logical_Error Great to see others working on mainlining these devices!

A note about sign-off-by tags though, as far as I've been able to figure out, you should not add a signed-off-by tag for someone else. If you want to include it, you should send the patch to them to review before sending it to the lkml. A signed-off-by tag indicates the signer agrees to the DCO, which isn't possible if they haven't seen the patch.

@Logical_Error actually programing experience is required to submit kernel patches. Submitter is expected to understand the patch.
