If you intend to post the drivers as the development effort continues. so that
you can have the community feedback (and if required help) during the process
then you might in interested in Greg's Staging tree.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/gregkh/patches.git;a=tree
You can base your patches to the latest kernel (or git trees of respective
maintainers) and post them to the mailing list.
