I know the original ST driver for it, and if the choice is to write a wrapper just to use this or code something new from scratch, I would do the latter... (While I think the chip implementation is quite brain-dead with the "double indirect addressing", the driver implementation is not much better with the huge overhead introduced by all the register caching and lookup stuff.) > Well, thanks anyway.
