It seems to be quite common for automotive chips, though, that they are held
tightly under wrap, making it all but impossible to properly review their drivers.
I have observed several times now that information not available to reviewers
resulted in bad or buggy drivers. This isn't about willingness to help, it is
about the ability to understand chip capabilities and requirements.
