The API between userland and the kernel should be generic. The userland driver 
can't (IMHO) generic, as it must consider various hardware related 
limitations. For example setting FI/DI parameters is part of the generic API 
to the kernel driver, but not all FI/DI pairs may be possible (like in my 
case). I don't know the capabilities of other embedded SmartCard interfaces 
to get an idea how to implement a generic kernel API *and* a generic userland 
driver. But you are right. Only a few things in this driver are really i.MX 
specific, others could be shared with similar drivers.
