You are now back to a driver that does nothing at all, please make it
use at least one kernel subsystem that it can hook up to before
you send it again.

Also, when listing the functionality above, describe which subsystems
you want to use for those in the long run, this would make it clearer
to see which direction you want to take this driver when you add
back the features.
