And, assuming that in-kernel support for this chip is desirable, is it bett=
er to
pursue license clarification from VIA, or re-implement using the driver sou=
rce
as a reference?

The reason I ask is that I suspect for this driver to get into the kernel, =
it
will likely see a lot of changes, anyway.  If it's going to be rewritten,
there's little sense in me pushing VIA on the license issue, is there?

I hope I'm not being daft.

Thanks,
Forest
