Sorry for not handling it sooner... I have a large number of patches in my
queue...
I don't have any patch for dabusb on my tree, so, I'm OK if you sent it via your

PS.: I tried to contact the authors a few weeks ago to double check about this
driver.
I suspect that it were added for some prototype, based on its help message, and
the
links I found about that. So, it could be a good idea to simply move it to
staging
and let it die, as maybe nobody has an actual hardware for it...
Well, I got no answer about that so far.
