Because merge window for 2.6.22 is closed the driver will only be
merged in the mainline when 2.6.23 window opens. For now it will stay
in my tree (and because Andrew pulls form me it will also show up in
-mm). Because of that I would like to get the driver in shape from the
beginning - my tree obviously does have these changes.
