Ok, here are 2 patches. The first small one is on top of your latest
version. It gets rid of the extra subdirectory, and removes the
unneeded kobject from your static structure (NEVER USE A KOBJECT IN A
STATIC STRUCTURE!!!!)

The secone one is against a clean 2.6.6-rc3 kernel that has your latest
version + my changes.

If you approve of my changes, I'd be glad to add the driver to my bk
trees to have it show up in the next -mm release, and I will push it off
to Linus after 2.6.6 is out. Sound ok?

thanks,

greg k-h
