It's fine to say "don't apply, for _THIS REASON_".  You didn't specify a
reason, which is why I complained.

Ah, fun, we will diverge even more in the future, not good.  Any reason
why I shouldn't just delete this whole in-kernel tree if you are going
to spend time maintaining a different version?

If you want to maintain this driver, in the kernel tree, by all means I
would love the help as I don't have hardware or the ability to test
anything.  Having two different trees for the source guarantees that
there are going to be constant problems here, and that's not good for
anyone.

thanks,
