Hi!

I asked Noralf about this patch set recently, and he mentioned that this 
never made it any further than this patch series...

Are there still any interest in getting this mainlined? Does the code 
exist in any repo anywhere? For my own part, this would be an awesome 
driver to have to resurrect some old hardware I have lying around...
