what is going on here? Overstepping myself and also Dave for merging a
new driver at this point of time in the development cycle.

The driver is small and self-contained, I agree on that. But remember
the reason why it was not part of 2.6.33-rc1. You guys actually screwed
up the submission. And I didn't get any fixes for 1.5 month. Now you are
pushing it like this?

Dave, I have no objection to merging this. So if you are happy in taking
in it this late, I include it in the round of fixes that I am putting
together.

Regards

Marcel
