If you can't generate a patch yourself (either `diff -u` or `git
format-patch`, well probably even `git diff`, will do), send any file
you've touched and tell us from what you started.

Generally speaking, it's not a problem, as long as copyright and
license are respected -- it's more a question of opportunity, then: is
it worth creating a new driver if the changes are not big?
Since you mention the blazer drivers, if your devices use a Q1-like
protocol that is not already supported by the nutdrv_qx driver, if
feasible, you should add a subdriver to it (or modify an existing
one), rather than creating a new driver. See:

Good to hear. If you send this first, we can decide together what's
the best solution.
