Steven Royer had previously attempted to upstream this driver two years ago, but never got the chance to address the concerns from Greg Kroah-Hartman. The thread with the initial upstream is: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/16/918 I have addressed the following: Version 1: - Documentation - Use of dev_dbg instead of pr_dbg - Change to misc class - Fixed memory barrier usages - Addressed styling, checkpatch, renaming of functions - General fixes to the driver to make it more inline with existing upstream drivers. Version 2: - Changed Documentation from .rst to .txt and addressed small changes in documentation per request from Randy. - Clarified Documentation based upon Linus Walleij's comments - Fixed kbuild warning in regards to unititialized use of rc Bryant G.
