Did you actually see the code? Did you see the board specific code added to 
the "common" NFC driver code? This is not really something I like to see in 
common drivers. And such code usually get's a NAK from you as well.

As stated above this ADS addition is not a "clean" one. So there is effort 
necessary to make it acceptable. And as I also stated the driver works without 
this code just fine and the ADS. At least my tests didn't show any problems.
