Great news!

I'm fine with accepting reverse-engineered drivers without Chinese wall,
as the clear goal is hardware interoperability. Documenting it in the
source would be best, if the size isn't humongous, otherwise in a
separate README file.

Once you've cleaned up the patch, attach it to Bugzilla, and we can
review from there.

Cheers
