the patch actually isn't mine.
It has first been written by Luca Bigliardi but he could not find
anyone willing to submit it because there was a flame - i do not
remeber exactly between him and who - because it did not use sysfs.
Then Bigliardi stopped mantaining it and Matteo Bigoi took over, but
he always made minor modifications so it could just work with newer
kernels.
I don't know if the patch is actually ready for upstream, needs
cleaning or any of the such becaus i always just used it - both autors
are friends and study colleagues.
I suggest you - or someone willing to take it upstream - contact Matteo
Bigoi for all the informations.
bye
