It's really hard to review a random git tree somewhere, and having it in
this form doesn't make it easy to add to the kernel tree itself.

So, could you take your git tree and convert it to a patch (or patches)
to be applied to the kernel.org tree and send it in email so we can see
what it looks like that way?

I'd recommend putting everything under drivers/staging/ for now, to make
it easier to accept at the moment, and it makes it easier to clean up
and fix up any issues in-kernel, instead of having to keep huge patches
outside of the tree.

Take a look at the file, Documentation/SubmittingPatches for how to
create a patch and what I need in order for it to be able to be applied.

thanks,
