He's building the driver up, one piece at a time, filling in the full implementation as is possible as more and more infrastructure is added. So some functions start empty when a method is needed to be filled in, and then gradually obtains more and more content throughout the series. And this is a fine way to add a huge new driver (although not my personal preference).
