-
-Required properties:

Please carefully follow GSoC requirements. Really, really carefully.

For example one of the required steps is to run checkpatch. You did not
fulfill that requirement.

I have doubts you have hardware or manual, so this should be the driver
or platform maintainer.

Understood. I'll re-run the checkpatch to confirm no errors and warnings are present.

I'll update the maintainers field appropriately and send a revised version. 
Thank you for looking into it.
