Hm, David, please hold off on this.

These drivers just got merged together in the staging directory, so this
patch doesn't apply anymore to the linux-next tree.

Ben, care to resync off of the linux-next tree that comes out tomorrow?

Also, please don't send gpg-signed patches, they don't apply well :(
