Ah, there is a problem here.

The upstream Linux Kernel source tree has not accept this commit.
If the reference driver source (GPL) haven't released to Linux Kernel yet,
or the reference source code is just send to Linux Kernel. How do we deal
with it?

If the driver source haven't be accepted by Linux kernel, I think I can
modify the copyright
statement hence this driver is independent with current Linux Kernel.
