Hi Frank, Xiaogang, Zhang Fei, and Sun Hua,

在 4/8/25 5:28 PM, Frank Sae 写道:
Add the yt6801.rst in ethernet/motorcomm folder
Add the yt6801 entry in the index.rst.
Add myself as the maintainer for the motorcomm ethernet driver.
Would it be possible to split it into two patches?

patch 1 Add docs
patch 2 Modify MAINTAINERS

I'm not sure if it's appropriate to write it this way. I don't object to them, but I think it's a bit strange to put them below the title.

Actually, this is a suitable place to write an introduction.

Could this be all of the content? It appears to deviate slightly from the title.

I think this part of the content can be written in the code comments.

I'm quite interested in the long-term planning of this directory. Because compared with the documents in other parallel directories (wangxun is not a good example), there is still a great deal of content that needs to be written. Of course, I'm not sure if there are any engineers in your team whose mother tongue is Chinese. If it's convenient, it would be even better if a Chinese document could be prepared as well.


Thanks,
Yanteng
