I suspect there are people who would like to have that support, but,
unfortunately, this is not the way to get it into the kernel.  If you
truly would like to contribute this work, could trouble to read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches in the kernel tree?  A read through
Documentation/development-process/ would also be helpful.  Those will tell
you how to get your work into the mainline.

Thanks,

jon

Have you tried by the way latest linux-next?

I believe most of the features are working there already. I heard only
issues about cameras, touch screen and touchpad.

Cameras seems would be supported after Laurent add UVC class 1.5
semisupport. Touchpads should work after some patches on hid driver,
and so on.

So, please, test latest linux-next and gather list of exact features
that *don't* work.
