stable tends to be more user oriented, and less developer oriented.  I
read it less often than I do the other lists.

Maybe if you could send me your driver, I can point out the problems
in it.  Since you didn't provide any code, it really is hard to guess
what might be going wrong.  isa_compat.h almost certainly isn't the
answer, since that's only for drivers in a transition period from the
old APIs to the new ones.
