The user/kernel interface to this driver is quite confusing to me.
Where is it documented as to how this all works, and where are the
userspace tools that integrate into this?
You seem to use both sysfs and ioctls, why the mix?
And what happened to the in-kernel api that you were going to do, why
did you remove that from the TODO file?
