  This is already at least v3 of the driver IIRC. And its not fully
committed at all, its just in a staging tree. I can blow it away at any
time if we find problems.

  Not a problem. usually I'd attach any updates I planned to commit for
public review, then if anything wasn't made public before I issue my
pull request to send them to security-next, I'd append the full diff to
the pull request at that time. Either way, all changes will hit a list
at some point in time.

  A GPLv3 clause would say "v3 or any later version". This should be
fine.
