Must say, that code not mine, wrote by Alexander Egorenkov (based on
OpenBSD one) + OpenBSD part for 3090 (but seems w/o LEDs :) ) and plus
my part for wireless embedded into SoC like RT3052F.

Anyway, we (Adrian, Bernhard, PseudoCylon and me) discuss what there is
preferred to port current version of OpenBSD `ral` driver, and keep it
sync in future. But only one problem here, we all don't have time
right now for that :)
