Hi Torben Mathiasen
The maintainers file as well as the lanana.org website only states this <device@lanana.org> email address. I hope it is the right one.
Please you have not confirmed or revoked my ability to use 260 as a Major for a new char-device. Please review
What git tree should this go through?
Thanks Boaz
