Do yourself and your developers a great service, and do the
following:

1) Upgrade to v4.0 (recently released). 2.6.36 is almost 5 years old.

2) Get your driver module in-tree. This has several benefits:

a) You don't have to worry anymore about figuring out what kernel
APIs changed when you upgrade kernels - the person who changed the API
will fix your code for you.

b) You can get out of the software distribution business totally. Just
ship the device, put a "Works with Linux 4.1 and later!" on the box, and
you don't need to worry about providing the driver, the user will get it
from their Linux distributor.

c) I'm sure Greg KH has a few other good reasons I can't remember because
I haven't had my morning caffeine.

Greg KH is the person to talk to about how to get your driver in-tree....
