Hi Torben Mathiasen

The maintainers file as well as the lanana.org website only states
this <device@lanana.org> email address. I hope it is the right one.

Please you have not confirmed or revoked my ability to use 260
as a Major for a new char-device. Please review

What git tree should this go through?

Thanks
Boaz
