It has been send to the kernel mailinglist several times as well, and there didn't seem to be any objections against it, except for some coding style errors which had been fixed. The second objection, which wasn't said so explicitely but was still clear was that it cannot go into the main kernel tree since there is no driver using it. That makes the only acceptable place for now wireless-dev since rt2x00 wishes to use it. ;) The last 2 attempts I had send the patch to the kernel tree remained unanswered and I am unsure who should aprove this patch before it can be added to the lib/ directory.
