OK, no problem.

You'd send the patch to the list and hope that someone will pick it and
review it. But chances are thin. Other possibilities are finding
someone else interested in support for that specific chip and have
him/her review and test your driver. Then usually Andrew Morton can
pick the patch and push it upstream.

Or you can volunteer to be the new hwmon subsystem maintainer and send
the patch to Linus yourself ;)
