First of all, you should "reply to all" recipients when using public
mailing lists so that your message is seen by everyone involved. Only I
received this one.

As for the driver, make sure you're contacting the right person by
checking against the MAINTAINERS file or using the get_maintainer.pl
script (also in the kerner source directory). For contributing, check
here:

Good luck!
