vfs301 driver (1st public version)
Hi,
I have somewhat updated and improved the driver, should be a little more compatible with the coding style (in terms of internal functionality) of other libfprint drivers. I'm attaching the current version of the patch - please someone integrate it, so that I don't have to keep it on github sync'd .-)
Some notes:
The driver is for the devices 138a:0005 (primarily) and 138a:0008 (some users reported it as working too).
Unfortunately, we didn't decypher the protocol to much detail - so currently it mostly just repeats sequences the original binary driver does (that seems to work fine). That's why the driver doesn't look so pretty as other drivers. Maybe some users will be able to help with that :-)
The device on my notebook contains a LED next to the scanner, but I also didn't yet figure out how to control it - but anyhow, can libfprint use it to provide some feedback, even if we know how to control the LED?
