There are a bunch of devices using this chip in very different ways,
so I didn't want to tie it too closely to this specific device.
Also this device kinda doesn't have a good way to label the pins.
Part of the issue is that sealevel hasn't given us a schematic of how
the chip is connected, I've had to figure stuff out by trial and error... :S

Thanks for reviewing! I'll have a new patch out soon with the feedback
from your previous email addressed :)
