Subject: MSI Digivox Trio, should I try to hire someone to patch for this device?

If you're having a deja-vu, yeah, it's still me. I'm still using this
device using my butt-ugly patch by adding:
{ USB_DEVICE(0xeb1a, 0x2885), /* MSI Digivox Trio */
.driver_info = EM2884_BOARD_TERRATEC_H5 },
to linux/drivers/media/usb/em28xx/em28xx-cards.c.
It's starting to bug me more and more that I can never update my kernel
(well not without hassle anyway). I've written this to the mailinglist
before, but with no response.
I just don't have the skill to write this in the neat way it needs to be
to be able to go upstream. Should I try to hire someone to do that? If
so, any suggestions? Just put an ad up on craigslist or something? Does
such a patch have a chance of going upstream? (as that's the whole point
- I want to update my kernel again)
It should be really straightforward given that no reverse engineering or
anything is needed. It's just what it states above - pretend the Digivox
is an H5 and it's done.
Anyone who can tune in on this, please share your thoughts.
Best regards,
P. van Gaans
