How can a developer work on such a driver without sufficient documentation
existing?  Yes, with thousands of pages of actual manual (not just register
dumps) you can do that.  And yes, with access to the not-opensource-able
driver, you can too.  But without both?  Very difficult.

Both VIA and myself have a good relation to Greg K-H from the linux
driver project.  But how would we dare to ask somebody to help at a
seemingly impossible task?
