This way to the LKML. Send a patch and show them how it's supposed to be done.
Incidentally, as a basic Unix user I only ever wrote one device driver and in my case the device in question had been engineered really well, so that I could do a decent job myself on the driver side (and would have had no excuse for not doing so). Looking at many other devices though, they do not exactly leave the driver writers with a lot of good choices.
