Thanks for cc'ing me. Yes, the NFC maintainers emails and the mailing
list are in the MAINTAINERS file, so I expect people to use them to post
their NFC related patches.

Jeffrey, I appreciate the upstreaming effort, but I'm not going to take
this patch. It's designed for Android exclusively and not using any of
the NFC kernel APIs.
In particular, we have a full NCI stack that you could use. There
currently is an SPI transport layer, adding an i2c one would be really
easy.
If you're interested and can spend some cycles on this, I can surely
help you with the kernel APIs and how your driver should look like.

Cheers,
Samuel.
