Hi Steve, Now, I'm in the same boat.
These were developed by a hardware engineer on our team to support our custom board port. We really wanted to send this to BB.org after all the help they gave us. But as noted above, the hirose connector was flipped, so we weren't able to expose the 30 pins we wanted and had to shift the pinmux around to bind peripherals to the available pins.. I don't work there anymore. At the time, talked to my manager about releasing this to BB.org, and I wrote something up for legal to get their blessing, but they never got back with me, and I don't think my new manager wanted to press them on this. One of our Linux guru's left before this all happened. If he had still been around, I'm sure he could have gotten them to take a look at this.
