I was speaking of the driver written by Jean-François Moine:

But some of it is based on AW's lichee code, and some of it would need

I spoke last week about such things with Jean-François.

I've got an H3 based SBC that I'm tinkering with, and a few others are
also working on it. But that's getting off topic.
