Well, until the user of this new API is ready, we will not accept the patch.
You also need to explain "For HW performance reasons". Why is this driver special that it can do things which no over driver does?
And you should really be working on net-next, not this dead kernel version, if you want to get merged into mainline.
Network drivers do not belong is drivers/platform. There is also ready a drivers/net/ipa, so i assume you will move there.
