The goal is to just support simple drivers which when ported from FreeBSD
to RTEMS can be used during board bootup eg pinmux drivers and clock
drivers.

We did speak about synchronization of these drivers with FreeBSD but later
that
idea was abandoned. And the goal is not to implement any larger
infrastructure to
support drivers but rather provide implementation to simple functions that
are frequently used.

Thanks,
Niteesh
