Hi everyone.

I've been involved in a little discussion this morning about reporting
driver bugs. In the past, I've tended to point people directly to the
driver author, but I've learnt that the preferred thing is to get people
to open reports on bugzilla.kernel.org.

I'm therefore writing to ask if those of you who help with triage could
point people there as well.

Unfortunately there is no one right answer. Some driver maintainers don't see the bugzilla.kernel.org entry at all; others find it useful for tracking purposes.

At the very least, one should make sure the driver author is always CC'd on initial bug reports.
