Creating a new vendor directory and re-inventing supported driver
without an explanation, coding style, build problems ... the list goes
on. You've outdone yourself !

So NACK.

Chuan has been warned numerous times about his submission to the kernel
mailing lists, without a noticeable effect. I can only suggest other
reviewers do not waste their time reviewing this.
