Btw, submit the driver as soon as possible even though you are targeting
Feb.  It goes into linux-next and people review it and run static
checkers on it.  It's like there is a queue of patches.  You can join
the queue any time but it takes 3-6 months before your patches come out
the other end and are released in an official kernel.
