Well what I wanted to say is, that right now this driver is quite a big 
beast and this makes it difficult to review. So my idea was to just 
submit the most basic version of this driver.
Any improvements on the driver should be sent in follow-up patches after 
the basic driver got merged. That was my idea.

Matthias
