Hi all,

I submitted a pull request to libsigrok on GitHub last year that
rewrites a significant portion of the FTDI-LA driver to make it more
reliable, support new features on some chips, and drop support for other
chips that never worked properly:

https://github.com/sigrokproject/libsigrok/pull/145

As of yet, though, no one has reviewed the PR or told me what needs to
change to get it merged. I'm sending this email in the hopes it'll reach
someone who has time and motivation to help me get this code into
sigrok. I'm also happy to send the commits from the PR as patches to
this list, if that's easier to review.

The PR is quite large by number of lines, and it touches an existing
driver which means merging it risks regressions, so I certainly
understand why no one would be keen to review it. However, I do think
the review will be easier than it might seem for a few reasons:

 1. It consists of multiple individual commits, each of which is
    well-documented and reviewable in isolation.
 2. It's not an early-stage "RFC"-type PR: the code is fully-functional,
    polished, and as ready for merging as I can make it. I have compared
    it to the current driver with real hardware and found no regressions.
 3. Regressions are less of a concern since, as the PR and commit
    messages describe, much of the FTDI-LA functionality is outright
    broken in its current state.

Thanks for all you do to maintain sigrok! It's a great project, and I'd
love to help make this piece of it better.

-Tom
