You're adding code that needs to be maintained, thought about when changing other things, etc. I don't see why we as the community should shoulder that burden if you're not even willing to upstream the code using it. It feels like you're just dumping code that you happen to need today over the wall. We've never really had to even consider this situation because you're the first to actively work on cfg80211/nl80211 while apparently not even thinking about upstreaming your driver! johannes
