[fprint] VFS101 driver ID

[Gabriel Franco]

Nice Daniel.

Is there any documentation about the API for the drivers? I found the
API for application but I did not find anything related to the drivers
development. Right now I going on a try-and-error approach.

Any guideline would be helpful.

Best,

Gabriel
