TBH I don't see the point of patch 3 at this moment, we have had so many
iterations with the full driver already. If people want to look at the
driver, they can check it from the staging tree. So in the next round I
recommend submitting only patches 1 and 2 and focus on getting all the
pending patches to staging tree.

And the chances are that a big patch like that would be filtered by the
mailing lists anyway.
