LPCOpen license:

This copyright, permission, and disclaimer notice must appear in all copies of this code.

This section in bold makes the license incompatible with GPLv3, so we cannot have it together with our code in this repo. The solution is to upload the drivers to a different repo and instantiate it as a submodule here.

Interesting discussion comparing the submodules with the debian packages.
