Please +review the QEMU process for more details and tips on the best way to +submit patches. The SeaBIOS C code does follow a slightly different +coding style from QEMU (eg, mixed code and C99 style variable +declarations are encouraged, braces are not required around single +statement blocks), however patches in the QEMU style are acceptable. + +As with QEMU, commits must contain a "Signed-off-by" line using your +real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions) and a +current email address.
