and then they took it off because it was unmantained?
You've spoken about Thomas(in CC) not ready,
maybe I could help on that if it's public to accelerate.
If I'm able to of course, this is my primary concern.

Otherwise, in which way can I help improving it to make it accept to
linux-sunxi?
Starting from Florent's work and porting it to sunxi-next to begin?
And after that adding all features you've listed?
Tell me what I can do(I repeat, if I'm able to).
