Hi, I'm sure the community will be happy to merge the driver back into the repository. Still, I would recommend you looking at the "How To Contribute a driver to Cinder" guide [1] and the "Third Party CI Requirement Policy" documentation [2], and then adding this topic to Wednesday's meeting [3] and go to the meeting to ensure that everybody is on board with it. Best regards, Gorka.
