Possibly, but in order to be safe for everyone, reviewers may want me to remove features that allow the driver to achieve the non-standard performance. There's a lot of hoops to jump through :)
How did they react to it being vibe coded? Were they pragmatic about it, as Linus recently suggested
I have like 4 drivers to upstream myself, plus a couple of patches here and there. Quality is good and they're tested, and while I understand the code and how things work low level, I wouldn't be able to write them myself.
I've never tried it, I am put off by the amount of work for a few weekends on what I considered a personal project, plus I don't understand the code base well enough (problem domain is ok, I grew up with 8 and 16 Bit machines, and pushing graphics driver boundaries in Amiga and VGA monitor era machines). This is why my readme asks for help with issues :)
The dev on this driver used a combination of local Qwen 3.6 and 3.8 27B for admin and basic work, and extensive Codex 5.6 Sol Max to catch the issues I found and do last stage optimisations / isolate the bugs.
I'll freely admit I relied heavily on AI, my expertise and day job is in other software stacks.

I stand on the back of giants :)
