Of course that's no problem. Over time I need to figure out how will
maintain aspects of the driver though. I belong to the game console
division, some other devices currently supported by the driver (e.g.
TV remotes, Vaio laptops) are other divisions, so that's a challenge
as we don't know anything about those devices and don't have
datasheets or anything. Maybe we will slice the driver in some way or
something.

Thanks,
Roderick
