Yes this should probably do the thing ;)


Thanks for porting yet another driver.

I think I'll stage them (nuvoton, st and atmel) all in a temporary branch 
"testing-and-review" so it's easier for people to try them out.
This branch might rebase and change all the time, but maybe it makes things 
easier (and patches can be squashed afterwards easily if needed).


But since you'll be sending a v2, I'll wait until the v2.

Thanks,
Peter
