We are not providing it at the moment for legal / Licensing reasons.
The current closed source driver for Omap 2420 is not GPL compliant
and Nokia can't deliver such a driver.

We are working to get some version of driver available to developpers but
it won't be any Nokia supported version.  The plan is least tell in 
Maemo Summit
could we resolve existing problem and make driver some way available.
