What's that?

Just resend everything, please, fulyl changelogged, with all necessary
cc's.

acx100 is legally challenged. We don't want to see it without a clear
and full indication by the authors that they can guarantee that it was
written without any copyrighted Texas Instruments material. Which
they've never bothered to provide.

True (and fully agreed), but then that particular entry was just meant
to stir up some fog, I didn't really intend to focus on it at all ;)
The project was based on non-clean-room reverse-engineering from the get-go
anyway (5 people working for 3 months),
thus the only way to get this unfortunate hardware non-support situation
resolved would be by trying to get TI (or possibly newer holders
of that technology) to extend its specifications/firmware blessing
to older variants, not just the Android device-related chipsets supported
by their new driver which they now provided, thankfully.
