Please do not use rando pages from search engines for pointing to patches, we
have lore.kernel.org for that.
Also, please do not top-post on public MLs but put your text under the text
you're replying to.
We have the whole development process explained here, please take some time to
read the most important points:

That's much appreciated but you don't have to worry - the driver won't be
orphaned and you'll be the reviewer and tester of patches for it. And I'll
simply add Stefan's patch at the end and amend the hunk marking the driver as
orphan and instead add your hunk which is making you a reviewer.

Let's see how we work together this way first.
Thx.
