Any news on that ?

The new driver is broken for me (no picture, no autosearch) while the 
old driver was working.

The new driver is now integrated in the hg repo, but it seems a big 
regression for configuration like mine (ok there weren't mt2060 support, 
but it could have been added without rewriting the driver).
Shouldn't we have to wait a new driver with no regression before merging 
it ?

I hope it will be fixed before it hits linus git repo.
