The above might be a precedent, but=20 it may not necessarily be the way to go. The commit message for esp8089=20 seems to hint that there is intent to have an in-tree driver: """ Note that at this point there only is an out of tree driver for this hardware, there is no clear timeline / path for merging this. Still I believe it would be good to specify the binding for this in tree now, so that any future migration to an in tree driver will not cause compatiblity issues.

I think there have been discussions to move=20 the bindings to their own repository, but apparently it was decided=20 otherwise.
