Please be patient, getting a driver upstream is not a simple task. What
this driver needs now is reviews and people saying that the driver is
ready for upstream, I have not seen any of that yet. Maybe you could
submit a new version, hopefully that triggers people to review this?
Also I'll try to find time for review but, as usual, I'm really busy.
