I'd prefer to iron out the process issues before we accept any more code. Specifically I think the process issue is that Chelsio does not have a (competent) engineer assigned to participating upstream, and explicitly given some amount of time a day to read the ML and review other people's code. There may be no cxgb4 patches on the ML right now but there's plenty of submissions for other drivers. Please start reading the list, engaging, reviewing, asking questions which indicate your understanding of the code and the process.. And if things are going well, in a month or so we can revisit this rejection.
