As this driver is released under BSD 2-clause license, how about adding this to base directly?
Comment 2 Alexander Mishin 2020-09-03 11:50:46 UTC 
I don't mind, I'll be glad.

(In reply to Alexander Mishin from comment #2)
Sorry that I was not clear, I am encourage you submitting a patch to the base.
Comment 4 Alexander Mishin 2020-09-03 12:25:39 UTC 
This is my first posting of code, and I thought it might be worth starting with ports. But, thanks, I'll look for information on how to do this for the base.
Comment 5 Alexander Mishin 2020-09-16 07:33:49 UTC 
I think it is not ready for the base yet. I found and fixed other day a bug (foolish enough one). I think that best to public it as a port and wait for the bug reports. And a question: must I send a corrected version of the port to this thread or create a new one?
