    Is there a benefit for having drivers in userspace? My gut feeling is to
    encourage people to write kernel drivers. If this is, for some reason,
    not possible for some driver, then we have a use case at hand to test
    the then-to-be-developed userspace interface against. Until then, I
    personally wouldn't waste effort on designing it without a user in
    sight.

    Dunno if you have that, but a debug interface (exchanging data with
    clients) on the other hand would be super useful most probably. Maybe
    you can start having that in debugfs and already learn from it if you
    ever want to move some interface outside of debugfs?

    Kind regards,

    Wolfram
