It might have been helpful to scan the entire series to understand
why it looks this way.

He's building the driver up, one piece at a time, filling in the full
implementation as is possible as more and more infrastructure is added.

So some functions start empty when a method is needed to be filled in,
and then gradually obtains more and more content throughout the
series.

And this is a fine way to add a huge new driver (although not my
personal preference).
