This is the right starting point. There is a network development list
that might be better but I think essentially you might as well own the
driver if nobody else is laying any claim to it any more.

I suspect the correct check is (len < FP_IO_LEN)
Either you or your customer can send patches versus a current kernel to
update the driver.
