You are aware of the fact that some of the fb drivers have maintainers. aren't you? How about properly documenting what you actually do and let the driver maintainer handle the implementation? General question (not to you only): How about considering the 2.6 series as "stable" as everybody else does and keep it to fixing bugs instead of change the driver API the Xth time?
