</span>Yes it is, please contact the company about this to get the source code<br>
for your device. If you have problems with this, please try the Linux<br>
Foundation's form for this type of thing at:<br>
<a href="https://www.linuxsources.org/content/open-compliance-directory-request-contact-information" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linuxsources.org/<wbr>content/open-compliance-<wbr>directory-request-contact-<wbr>information</a><br>
as it works really well.<br>
<span class="gmail-"><br>
> Therefore I try to achieve it by doing some actions in shell.<br>
<br>
</span>Disconnect the device from the driver by writing the device id to the<br>
"unbind" sysfs file for the driver that is controling the device.<br>
Examples of how to do this in detail should be on the web somewhere, I<br>
think I wrote a <a href="http://lwn.net" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">lwn.net</a> article about this a long time ago...<br>
