Hi Grant, It is an IP block from a vendor. I would like to say, but would have=20 my head handed to me I'm told. I wish it wasn't that way as it's not=20 helping the open source process. I did try to review all the drivers and their registers to see if=20 there was already one written before I sent the patches. I didn't=20 see one that matched as it would definitely be easier if there was.
