You cannot do that. The  Philips  driver  comes  uner  a  proprietary
license  which  is  incompatible with the GPL. You must not use their
driver in the context of a Linux kernel or any other GPLed  software.
You  are  either  violating  the  GPL,  or  the  Philips  license. Be
careful!!!

No!!! We never had any access to the Philips drivers. We are proud of
using Free Software exclusively and will not accepts such a license.

Our version of the driver is Free Software under GPL. It is included
in the linuxppc_2_4_devel module on our CVS server, see
