Hello Chow,

I don't know about the others but I'm really looking for something
like these. This could also allow some benchmark test between both.
Also, this could help on reverse engeneering what is different from
other drivers on your device.

libfprint upek driver, in my case, is still unusable because of its
poor matching results.

Thanks and I really hope success for you.

I have a 147e:1000 and I will try to test your patch.

Regards,
