I assume it's not for as yet unreleased IP and under NDA or anything.
(Just thought I would throw that in there.)

I've never dealt with this code but one thing occurs to me: how would

different versions of the blobs (or have tweaked them) are they all
going to work with a common version of the kernel driver or have
different members tweaked things for there own needs?
