It seems this driver is already present in staging. Comments and
formatting have been improved in the staging version, but that aside,
the two versions look very similar.  Why don't you submit fixes to
that driver instead?

On a general note, both versions of the driver use MT-A. Please
convert to MT-B, using the in-kernel tracking if necessary.

Thanks.
Henrik
