Several problems here:

 - I don't have patches 1-6 or the cover letter for this series - what
   are the dependencies?
 - I can't see any sign that my concerns about the driver not actually
   being reusable have been addressed here.
 - This patch appears to do way more than add a compatible string, for
   example:
