Doesn't this driver duplicate some of the existing devices we already support with the current in-kernel driver? If so, why not just add the new device support to the existing driver instead of duplicating everything?
This is going to cause a big problem for distros as they will not know which to enable, so they will probably just disable this one, which is what I don't think you want to have happen :(
thanks,
