I would also gladly be available to be its maintainer if you agree with
it.

Since you have both the hardware and a clear todo list for this driver, start submitting patches, get them included in David's tree and over time chances are that you will become the maintainer, either explicitly by adding an entry in the MAINTAINERS file or just by consistently contributing to this area.

Thanks for the feedback.

So I found 2 suitable git trees:
 a) kernel/git/davem/net.git
 b) kernel/git/davem/net-next.git

We should submit to net.git correct? The net-next.git is a tree with selected
patches for upstream only?

net-next.git is the git tree where new features/enhancements can be
submitted, while net.git is for bug fixes. Unless you absolutely need
to, it is common practice to avoid having changes in net-next.git depend
on net.git and vice versa.

Hope this helps.

help a lot, thank you!
lets start working then :)

Thanks,
Joao
