I offered to, but there are other maintainers. I mostly offered to prove
Linus was being totally two faced about it. When he removed the driver at
the original authors request I asked him to remove all my code too because
his approach was offensive to me. He refused.

The new maintainer has not only taken over maintenance but has also replaced
the binary only modules with open source equivalents.
