Maybe you also want to have a look@the userspace side and talk to Mark G= reer (on cc). He recently said, that he is supposed to be taking over maint= enance for the neard daemon (see this thread: [1]) which currently looks li= ke it's close to being dead (no release for several years, etc.). I don't know much about the NFC stack and if/how people use it, but without= reliable and maintained userspace tooling, the whole thing seems of little= use in the long run. Qt has already dropped their neard support for Qt 6 [= 2], which basically means the mainline NFC stack won't be supported anymore= in one of the most common application frameworks for IoT/embedded.
