So if you are ready to keep the driver up to date and handle the support requests that show, then you should really submit it. Patches should always be sent against the current version of the kernel (i.e. git HEAD). Usually the latest packaged release will also do. (Note that I haven't had time to review your latest version of the driver) Rgds -- -- Pierre Ossman Linux kernel, MMC maintainer http://www.kernel.org PulseAudio, core developer http://pulseaudio.org rdesktop, core developer http://www.rdesktop.org
