I have no problems accepting your patch. Thanks for it.
I just want to have to deal with a human manageable finite number of actual driver versions :). I also want the same driver source to also be useable on recent 2.2 kernels.
About timers in modules and more generally either timers in drivers or modules unloading, you must keep in mind that this stuff has been racy for years in Linux. Allow time for me to check if it is really fixed in latest kernel and so to make sure it is worthwhile to apply your patch.
