+/** Dear pinetab hardware geeks!
+ * 
+ * The current pinetab lora module has a slight bug.  The ch341 part only provides ISR assertions on edges.
+ * This makes sense because USB interrupts happen through fast/repeated special irq urbs that are constantly
+ * chattering on the USB bus.
+ * 
+ * But this isn't sufficient for level triggered ISR sources like the sx127x radios.  The common way that seems to
+ * be addressed by cs341 users is to **always** connect the INT# (pin 26 on the ch341f) signal to one of the GPIO signals
+ * on the part.  I'd recommend connecting that LORA_DIO0/INT# line to pin 19 (data 4) on the pinetab board.  This would
+ * provide an efficent mechanism so that the (kernel) code in the cs341 driver that I've slightly hacked up to see the
+ * current state of LORA_DIO0.  Without that access, I can't know if the interrupt is still pending - which would create
+ * race conditions in packet handling.  
+ * 
+ * My workaround is to poll the status register internally to the sx127x.  Which is expensive because it involves a number of
+ * i2c transactions and many trips back and forth between kernel and my userspace app.  I think shipping the current version
+ * of the pinetab lora device would be fine because I can poll slowly (because lora is slow).  But if you ever have cause to
+ * rev this board.  I highly encourage this small change.
+ * 
+ * Btw - your little "USB lora dongle" is really neat.  I encourage you to sell it, because even non pinetab customers could
+ * use it to easily add lora to rasberry pi, desktop pcs etc...
+ * 
+ * Porduino helper class to do this i2c based polling:
