Add support for RC522

[ZsoltGergely]

Hey,
I think it would be really useful for the program to have RC522 support, I have seen multiple treads on forums regarding this question and none of them were solved. I can't do it myself because I don't have the technical knowledge to do it but I am sure someone can.

this isn't NFC, it is RFID Though look at #300 and #485

[ZsoltGergely]

Sorry for the question but could you explain why is that a problem?

[ildar]

Someone told me that RFIDs aren't welcome here ((( Though I personally think that a proper patch wouldn't hurt the project in the current state.

@ildar I don't really understand but OK. I still have to get it to work tho, do you thing it can be done? Or I should buy a pn532?

[ildar]

I'm not an authority here. I also think RC522 should work through libnfc but it requires some patching or development. If your goals are in RFID scope then it can be done

Any update about this?

RC522 is a RFID device, not NFC one. Adding it to libnfc will require to implement a capabilities detection…
