Or David or anyone else who could commit to the kernel sources....
Probably best beat is David, as it should probably be pulled to the
2.1 branch for simpler drop in of your driver for folks who will install
2.1 and want to add this support.

I am not saying to add the driver to 2.1, just the major dev entry
and /dev/MAKEDEV script.

You could greatly speed the process by providing a context diff to
both locations.
