The NFC subsystem is orphaned.  I am happy to spend some cycles to
review the patches, send pull requests and in general keep the NFC
subsystem running.

I admit I don't have big experience in NFC part but this will be nice
opportunity to learn something new. 

NFC has been lost in the limbos since a while. Good to see someone
volunteering to take care of it.

May I suggest to create a simple nfc reading program in the 'tools'
directory (could be a training exercise ;)

Noted, thanks. I also need to get a simple hardware dongle for this....

Krzysztof, the NFC portion of the kernel has a counterpart in userspace
called neard.  I'm supposed to be maintaining it but I have next to no
time to do so.  If you have spare cycles, any help would be appreciated.

Anyway, in neard, there are some simple test scripts (python2 - I/we need
to update to python3).  The current home of neard is:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/nfc/neard.git

Thanks for sharing this. Let me take a look at it first, before
committing to something too big.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
