Comment 29 for bug 61827

Not sure why this was moved from Triaged back to New. Triaged indicates the bug is ready for a developer to look at. I'm changing the status back to Triaged.

Is there a reason this driver has not been submitted upstream? It's a lot of extra work for the Ubuntu kernel team to maintain out of tree drivers and they typically try to avoid this. Additionally it would be frowned upon if others outside of Ubuntu could benefit from having this driver upstream. I would think this should at least try to be merged into the upstream staging drivers. See http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/linux-staging-update.html .
