Thanks Jegan, for the valuable information. I will read those first, and will submit to mailing list if there is any question.
When you say driver-model, is it the same model where u-Boot device tree support?
Thanks Nilan

Hi All,
I have been working as a Software/Firmware engineer for 10 years now, and keen to contribute to UBoot code base with some peripheral device driver patches.
I would like to know the procedure to follow, and where should I create
my
patches (from main git repo or Custodians http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Custodians repo).
Some times custodian repo's are move forward/backward wrt main git repo based on their work, so its better to use main git repo/master for new development/updates.Refer this[1] for procedure for patch submission.
To start with I am expecting to submit patches which support LED driver chip / Temperature Sensor / Battery fuel gauge to UBoot.
Please note that u-boot drivers need to written in driver-model[2].
