(just my £.2, user's perspective warning)
Just to say this, the current in-tree driver doesn't support the device I own,
Markus' driver does.
Greg :
The code Markus is requesting to merge is a completely NEW driver comparing to
the one that is in the tree (has a long and painful history). I think you might
safely assume that it already is NOT based on the old driver, tough shares the
name, due to the changes (and history).
Markus : just an idea - maybe if you've renamed the driver, to reflect the fact,
that it is completely new code, and schedule the old one to be deprecated ?
