yeah - Greg's call definitely was useful!
Although I'm still not sure if there is a point to getting the driver merged 
or not -- see discussion: "staging panel driver"
http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/pipermail/devel/2009-September/001610.html

More opinions/suggestions are welcomed - especially from people who are more 
into lcdproc than I am.

However I'm currently working on it anyways - I already eliminated the bug:
while removing the module misc_deregister gets called twice (keypad and led - 
both twice) - once in the  panel_detach function and once in the 
panel_cleanup_module function.

And of course the second call fails :)
I will provide a (very simple :) patch to these issues tomorrow.

Thanks,
Peter
