Well, I think the only the reason not to publish the code was because it's a driver for a custom hardware with no interest outside our department... > Anyway, off-topic but I figured I would try to clear that up. I was wondering that with the current limitation, there is no way to call functions in a driver as the cdc-acm from other drivers as the dummy I sent. Maybe our driver was designed the way is to avoid latencies from context switching if the code were in userspace... It's only a guess...
