You are probably right. It indeed should be possible to do this in
userspace. I thought that having a kernel driver would still be
benefical since it adds plug-and-play availability for all Linux users
without having to deal with userspace driver programs.
You are far more experienced with these things than me, so I am happy to
let you make the decision about whether to have a kernel driver or not.
