I took another look at this, and I'm fairly happy with it.

I'd just like to have an A-b or R-b from Nicolas Dufresne and
Daniel Almeida, given they've done a lot of work on the client side
of the API.

Another option would be to wait until Jernej finishes the work on
Allwinner H6, so we have another hardware supported.

Thanks,
Ezequiel
