Once I (or someone else, in the case of another driver) merges a driver, 
you will want to send a diff against that merged version.  In this case, 
the driver is upstream as of an hour or two ago, so you'll want to diff 
against that.

Note that little details like email subject line matter, because they 
are copied into the kernel changelog by default, when merging patches. 
See Documentation/SubmittingPatches for a list of details.
