Hi Linus,
I sent you a patch for a 2.5.41 kernel.
This is a new driver which uses parport for handling a parallel link
cable designed to connect a Texas Instruments graphing calculators to a
computer/workstation.
This driver has assigned device numbers.
Regards, Romain.

+Texas Instruments parallel link cable support
+CONFIG_TIPAR
+ If you own a Texas Instruments graphing calculator and use a
+ parallel link cable, then you might be interested in this driver.
+
+ If you enable this driver, you will be able to communicate with
+ your calculator through a set of device nodes under /dev. The
+ main advantage of this driver is that you don't have to be root
+ to use this precise link cable (depending on the permissions on
+ the device nodes, though).
+
+ This code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called tipar.o. If you want to compile it as a
+ module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt.
+
+ If you don't know what a parallel link cable is or what a Texas
+ Instruments graphing calculator is, then you probably don't need this
+ driver.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
