I have schematics of the component mounted, so I know what the
pins are named. Apart from that only the opaque driver from Samu.
(Found his new mail and mailed him, also requested the datasheet
from AKM, no response so far.)

Yes. But they did change the names. AK8974 is avdd and dvdd
whereas AK8975 has vdd (same as avdd) and vid (same as dvdd).
I have no idea why this arbitrary naming is happening :/

Yes. Or well. "data ready" is usually used as interrupt but to the
circuit designers it's just a signal which tells when the state machine
has finished.
