If not what can be done to finally merge the patch? Is it possible for someone to take over the development of the driver?
Without a proper sign-off, it can't be merged as is. Also there are some issues to be fixed better before merge. It was possible to merge at that time if Rainer could fix the further issues.
If there is no progress in near future, I'll try to poke it around...
Since there is no progress regarding this, I hacked and almost completely rewrote the code to support Maya44.
Dany, could you test alsa-driver-unstable snapshot tarball? ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-unstable-snapshot.tar.gz
Note that this is generated from sound-unstable GIT tree which contains the patches in topic/maya44 branch: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-unstable-2.6.git
If the driver is confirmed to work, I'm going to merge the patches to the upstream.
Thanks,
Takashi
