Re: security/libfprint: any updates?

Yes, but not really. See, the Linux SPI implementation is (probably) 
really different, so that would require a reimplementation of SPI in the 
library which is not the best solution, as you would probably agree.

My thinking is "remove SPI support altogether by removing certain 
supported devices", but it didn't work immediately and requires some 
more hacking.

I patched the meson.build file so that it doesn't contain the spi 
devices, but that didn't help so it requires further work.
