Hi,

Are you interested in maintaining this driver as part of the mainline kernel?

The fact that there is no datasheet does not mean the driver cannot go into the
mainline, it just means that it is hard to write a driver. Since that part is
already done, it can go in to the mainline if someone is willing to actively
maintain it (as needed, will probably not be a lot of work).

If you're interested in this I'll do a full review of the driver and get back to
you on this.

Regards,

Hans
