Note, one option would be to emulate it. We've done that for a few bits of hard to setup or hard to acquire hardware where we want to be able to refactor the code. Also because it's nice to have CI :) Vincent's (+CC) Roadtest is great for that though this device may be a bit complex to easily emulate. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220311162445.346685-1-vincent.whitchurch@xxxxxxxx/ Jonathan > Thanks > j > > > > thanks, > > > > greg k-h
