Adding to that: An internal source with access to the datasheet stated
that almost all registers/command would be standard, and that only VID
handling would be special. Even for that I am not sure if that is really
correct, and that the VID stepping is so far out of standard VID coding
that it can't be modeled as standard VID stepping. As such, I am not
inclined to accept a driver which re-implements pretty much all telemetry
registers without some very specific and confirmable information that
and why this is really needed. A vague reference to the datasheet won't
help, sorry.
