License should be GPL v2, sorry about that. Need me to fix it and
resend or can you amend it before pushing this?

Well, we've added COMPILE_TEST for precisely this reason, so you only
need to select COMPILE_TEST on any arch and you'll be able to build
test the driver.

If you can pick it, it would be great. I understand it's hard to
accept patches for drivers, when there's little testing possibilities.
But on the other side, isn't it a positive thing that a vendor is
pushing drivers this early?

Thanks a lot,
