Yes, I'm the person to talk to about doing this, we can take it off-list if you want. But, for some reading material about the process, take a look at Documentation/SubmittingDrivers and Documentation/SubmittingPatches in the kernel source tree. Also, if you don't want to do the work, I, and a bunch of others, will be glad to do it for you, for free, see the site linuxdriverproject.org for some details about that.
