I think we're closer than most people realize, but the hard part isn't generating the code — it's testing it. Drivers need to handle edge cases that only show up under specific hardware conditions, timing issues, power states, etc. An AI can write a first draft pretty fast, but validating it still requires actual hardware in the loop. The FreeBSD case worked because brcmfmac is well-documented and the author could test on real hardware. For more obscure chipsets with no public datasheets, we're still stuck.
