It's not mandatory, but the time Ben and myself have to review new
drivers is scarce, so it's in your own interest to have the code
reviewed by people with more time and more interest in the specific
hardware. I can only imagine that Intel wants Topcliff to be supported
as soon as possible by the Linux kernel, so they should certainly have
resources to allocate for the review and testing.
