I have committed the latest version of the patch Christopher sent (sans
defconfig and gta01 platform changes that do not really belong there) to
synaptics-rmi4 branch of my tree on kernel.org. I branched it off 2.6.35
release so it should be reasonably usable.

I shall be accepting patches applicable to that branch and if other
community players (Arce and others) will have time to work on the driver
- that would be great.

Hope this helps.
