Yes, that's right, the Linux kernel community is offering all companies
free Linux driver development. No longer do you have to suffer through all
of the different examples in the Linux Device Driver Kit, or pick through
the thousands of example drivers in the Linux kernel source tree trying to
determine which one is the closest to what you need to do.

All that is needed is some kind of specification that describes how your
device works, or the email address of an engineer that is willing to answer
questions every once in a while. A few sample devices might be good to have
so that debugging doesn't have to be done by email, but if necessary, that
can be done.

In return, you will receive a complete and working Linux driver that is
added to the main Linux kernel source tree. The driver will be written by
some of the members of the Linux kernel developer community (over 1500
strong and growing). This driver will then be automatically included in all
Linux distributions, including the "enterprise" ones. It will be
automatically kept up to date and working through all Linux kernel API
changes. This driver will work with all of the different CPU types supported
by Linux, the largest number of CPU types supported by any operating system
ever before in the history of computing.
