Yes, take a look at the staging area of the Linux kernel and port one
of those puppies over to proper after checking with the devel driver
list to see if someone is already not doing it. The nice thing with
this is you don't have to fight with a vendor already to get some code

tree. All you'd have to do is fix it up for proper.
