Such things often result in breakage as, while the kernels interface to userspace is very stable, the internal interfaces aren't stable at all. Lik= ely there would be some other stuff necessary to get the driver to work properl= y. Some googling around led me to [1] though, which seems to imply that there = is support on newer kernels (3.15.10 and newer), if you use the right patch... So maybe you are sucessful with that...
