What about making your patches public somewhere? This way other people =20 can benefit from your work, maybe port to a more recent version, and =20 maybe lobby for the inclusion of the patches... If you don't have a suitable webspace, I'm willing to host your patch. =20 It's not the first time I do this (this reminds me that I can remove =20 the HDA tarball I host, we have a working HDA driver in -current now).
