Yes. As I had written most of the code already I felt it would be
better to release it now than during the middle of the Summer of
Code so if the student is accepted they could work on the existing code base rather than duplicating work I have already done.

There is still a lot of work to do on the driver before it is usable
including getting it working on real hardware.
