Good point, thank you! We were planning firstly get comments in formal similar to RFC, and then publish polished solution to kernel and became part of it. I will add myself to MAINTAINERS file in RFCv2. > Also, how much do you actually plan on being part of the community? > Reviewing others' code, etc.? We want share our driver to the world, and will try to assist the community with review if that would be helpful as well. Will review other WLAN driver as much as possible (I am fully allocated for Linux upstream activity in WLAN within Renesas). > See also > https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/21896d2788b8bc6c7fcb534cd43e75671a57= > f494.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ >> (including the firmware binaries). > Those should probably go to linux-firmware.git. Yep! Apologies, these commits initially were supposed to be RFC, eventually for PATCH solution we will publish FW as well as required in the guideline. >> The RFC is divided into separate patches on a per-file basis to simplify >> the review process. > The bot reported some issues anyway: > https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20250417135236.52= > 410-39-oleksandr.savchenko.dn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ > FYI.
