If you have problems getting your driver to mainline, the lists are there to
help. Of course, this implies working with a recent kernel (which also answers
your initial question a bit). Most people don't want to supprt old kernels like
2.6.2x in their freetime. You can get commercial support for such tasks (be it
my employer or other consultants on this list).

The list was apropriate. As all people are busy by default, getting no response
is not that exceptional. If you need a fast response, you should consider
commercial support.
