Hello Vasily, Thanks for your reply, I didn't realize it was already on its way to be merged! I hope we see it included soon :) Drivers' code is quite stand-alone, so merging them even if they don't meet all the project quality standards should be okay. IMHO is worth it to have support for more hardware. Thanks again!
