OK, I will do that. BTW, is there a written down version of the rules for adding a driver under drivers/staging available somewhere? As far as I can see the visorhba driver went in without the linux-scsi mailing list having been CC-ed. See also Benjamin Romer, [PATCH] staging: unisys: Add s-Par visorhba, linux-driver-devel mailing list, July 2015 (https://marc.info/?l=linux-driver-devel&m=143681271902628). Thanks, Bart.
