What?  No, the reason we put this into the kernel was so that _everyone_
could work on it, including the original developers.  Going off and
doing development somewhere else just isn't ok.  Should I just delete
this driver from the staging tree as you don't seem to want to work with
the community at this point in time?

Yes, developing in your own sandbox can always be faster, but there is
no feedback loop.
