Pretty hard, not only is it nearly impossible to get documentation for some of the hardware, even if you get it it'll usually be under some kind of NDA which means you can publish the driver. Then there's all kinds of errata and hardware quirks that aren't going to be in the documentation (maybe in future updates to the documentation) it ends up a full time job for multiple people to maintain just a single driver for a few products.

Did you mean cannot publish?

Yep, missed that when reviewing the comment and it's now too late to edit.

No worries. Seemed like that's what you meant, but just wanted to clarify.
