Indeed.

I'm extremely disappointed that the only organization currently even
capable of fixing low level bugs in these drivers no longer is willing
to do so.

If documentation can't be provided so that others can maintain this
driver (not just few specific people, because some day those folks
might tire of maintaining this too) that would be a serious crime.
