Engage the Linux Foundation to develop your drivers.
The Linux Foundation is the place to get things into the kernel. They will help you integrate your hardware into the mainline kernel without compromising any internal IP you may be worried about. Its really the only way to get a driver working for any OS. Work with upstream not against it.
This translates to Windows and OS X as well. I was frustrated getting my device working with Windows. Complete pain and not plug and play by any means. OS X Mojave doesn't work at all and Linux shows the same behaviour. Flickering on and off rapidly an when looking at system logs it seems to be in a constant connect / disconnect rapid loop.
Open Source the whole driver stack and work with the upstream OS developers to get support built into the kernel will make your hardware plug and play on all operating systems.

Many people think that creating a Windows driver yourself is something that borders on science fiction. But in fact it is not. Of course, developing a driver for some fancy device is not an easy task. But the same can be said about the creation of complex programs or games. There is nothing difficult about developing a simple driver.
