the Tegra/Nvidia/Google people are not involved in this driver development. The 
hw was used in the first generation Android devices only and became kind of 
obsolete (in kernels > .32 released by NV), but still there are a handfull older 
devices using it. That's why some community people (ml: 
ac100@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, irc:#ac100 on freenode) try to port it to newer 
kernels.

I'll post some update to the driver soon (V2 of the patches I already submitted, 
http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-July/018751.html). 
In fact, the clock stuff should be done by the i2c-tegra driver and not in nvec 
itself. I hope I have time to prepare a corresponding patch for the next merge 
window (kernel 3.2). So the patch below is not needed anymore. 

Thanks

Marc
