Hi Waldemar,

My idea of an initial NFC subsystem architecture was actually 
the following
one:
- A core NFC layer against which NFC drivers would register.
- A netlink socket for handling the HCI commands. That would 
put a big part of the NFC HCI layer in kernel land and could 
potentially simplify the existing NFC stacks.

Shouldn't be better to add a new AF_NFC sock family and then register new LLCP and HCI protocols?

That's the Bluetooth approach, and it works just fine as well.
However, the netlink option for sending commands and receiving answers to/from
a subsystem sounds more appropriate, at least to me.

Cheers,
Samuel.
