Yes, that's the best approach.

Some of the desired acks may not be forthcoming.  In which case the
best you can do is to review the code yourself, make the maintainer(s)
aware of what's going on and just go ahead and merge it.  If people are
too busy to look at the code then so be it - we can't really permit
that problem to permanently block new drivers.

I'll go and have a look at drivers/misc/ti_ssp.c.
