You can put it in staging directory if you suspect the code quality
and if someone
is looking for some kernel work they will definitely add the bells and
whistles so
that it can be mainlined.
I do think that you should just send the driver code to LKML.You will
definitely get
more responses and the right way of mainlining it.
