Thank you for submitting a new driver.

However please note that your code is licensed under GPLv3:

 * Nuvoton TPM I2C Device Driver Interface for WPCT301,
 * based on the TCG TPM Interface Spec version 1.2.
 * Specifications at www.trustedcomputinggroup.org
 *
 * Copyright (C) 2010, Nuvoton Technology Corporation.
 *
 * This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
 * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
 * the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
 * (at your option) any later version.

The Linux kernel is licensed under GPLv2 which is not compatible with
GPLv3, so please (consider to) relicense to GPLv2 and only then
resubmit.

Also please check out Documentation/SubmittingPatches for guidance how
to submit code to the Linux kernel (no attachments please, instead use
plain in-line patches text).

Thanks,
Ohad.
