Sorry, but please understand the issue from our side, because the more code that's in the kernel tree, the more work that gives maintainers who stick around for the long term. Therefore, it is desirable not to collect lots of driver code that is only subtly different from each other, but require re-use and/or adaption of what is already present. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 80Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
