Yes, that's right. Since each of vendors often has different
drivers/devices for their hardware, it's hard to LSK to adopt and test
them, especial when the SoC platform is still hold in lab.

Yes, that would give some extra chance to share our work. On the
contrary, the usage/test feedback will make LSK better.
