Dear Jonanthan,
	The attached is the driver for invensense MPU IIO driver. I
believe it exceeds the 100,00 characters.  Would you advise what to do
with it? Thanks.

Best regards,

Ge GAO

Cool. Sounds like quite a beast ;)

Ideal would be to introduce the driver as a number of patches, but if that
really isn't possible see whether you will break the vger.kernel.org limit
of 100,000 characters.

Another option is to attach it as a patch file, but that tends to reduce
the number of people who take a look drastically!

If you want to send me a copy of the raw patch I'd be happy to advise on
whether it can be sensibly broken up into smaller parts.  I'll only do a
formal review once it is on the list though!
