When I talk about a "2.6 kernel" I'm talking about what is on
ftp.kernel.org, not what is hidden in some vendor patches.

Why is it not being submitted, and how much does it actually have in
common with the code currently in the kernel?
After all, e.g. the pcmcia driver was added in 2003 with the
#include <linux/tqueue.h> and a "Copyright 2003 MontaVista Software Inc.".
And 2003 is one year *after* include/linux/tqueue.h was removed.
If MyCable submits their patches for 2.6.22 (adapted to 2.6.25 if
required) that would be great.
But otherwise there's simply no point in trying to fix the compilation
of this kernel 2.4 code that was dumped into kernel 2.6.
