Thanks for the patch.

As you are very well aware, we already have n-trig driver written by Rafi 
Rubin. I understand that your patch is implementing new features that 
Rafi's patch is not able to handle, and also re-factoring the driver in a 
non-trivial way.

Therefore it would be nice, if you could separate out the individual 
changes/additions to be based on top of the driver that we already have, 
and accompany them with nice changelog describing what changes are being 
done and why 

Or even Rafi volunteered to do this, as I can see -- thanks for that! It 
would still be nice to get Acked-by from the N-Trig guys for the changes 
at least.

Thanks,
