Tejun Heo got the driver working sort of based on the minimal data sheet
available. Initio promised info but then went silent whenever asked but
recently threw an updated driver over the wall. From that Tejun updated
the in kernel driver and it now works well.

So basically you need a pretty current kernel (eg 2.6.26.x) and all will
spring to life.
