| + | Some guidelines to speed up new driver review: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * keep the driver small and simple, more features can be added after the driver is accepted upstream | ||
| + | * use clean understandable code | ||
| + | * use generic kernel frameworks instead of reinventing the wheel | ||
| + | * use generic user space interfaces | ||
| + | * no driver specific user interfaces or hacks | ||
| + | * no .ini style driver configuration files | ||
| + | * avoid using debugfs or nl80211 vendor interfaces | ||
