Suggestion for a better structure

Created by: c-mauderer

Hello muhviehstah,

thanks for integrating some baytrail patches into the kernel and offering an Arch package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-baytrail49/).

My problem with this repository is, that I can't clearly see which patches have been applied to which version of linux. This makes it hard to decide if the kernel is the right one for my device or not. It would be much clearer if you would use the following structure:

• Fork the official kernel from here: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/v4.9
• Create a branch
• Add your patches to the branch (one patch per commit)

This would allow to see which base version of Linux has been used and what patches has been applied. It would further allow a simple upgrade using a rebase to re-apply the patches to a newer version.

Please don't get me wrong: I really appreciate that you did the work of applying and testing the patches. I really just wanted to find out whether the version would be suitable for me. I tried to compare the version to the "v4.9" tag of the official kernel from kernel.org and I have got lots and lots of differences in all kind of files (starting with the release name). Therefore I'm not able to find out what has been changed and whether that would be suitable for my system.

Kind regards

Christian
