Money is also a limited resource. ;-)

Let's become serious again, I know and respect that many of Socket-CAN
and the Staging developers spend their free time working on it. We will
of course work on the driver, but since we've not much time it may take
several months. If someone wants to help, we would be very glad and
happy to support the person as far as we can with devices, answers and
tests.
