Subject: Re: [PATCH]: Preliminary release of Sun Neptune driver

Thanks Dave for your preliminary posting of the driver.
I am copying Matheos Worku. Matheos is intimately familiar with 
the Neptune/NIU family of devices and their respective drivers.

Not only he can be a good reviewer, he can also clarify issues 
around naming and so on. I agree that Neptune is just an overused 
internal codename not worth propagating in the code.

Please feel free to add Matheos.Worku@....COM to the reviewers list.
