Krzysztof, the NFC portion of the kernel has a counterpart in userspace
called neard.  I'm supposed to be maintaining it but I have next to no
time to do so.  If you have spare cycles, any help would be appreciated.

Anyway, in neard, there are some simple test scripts (python2 - I/we need
to update to python3).  The current home of neard is:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/nfc/neard.git
