Hi Lee,
profoundly sorry for the happening... Obviusly something went wrong in
me changing branch and the driver wasn't actually compiled in the
test...

Also with the comments from Markus I tought this needed more changes and
I leaved out for a bit, so again I'm really sorry that this manage to
reach next.

What is the next step? Any way I can pose a fix on this and apologize for
the situation?
