Bitmain got back to me, looks like they should be releasing the source code on GitHub shortly.

Maybe they will maybe they wont.
I've had and have direct contact with a few top level people in Bitmain - even they wanted my skype recently.
But everyone I've asked for the spi code they've made positive but vague comments and then nothing has happened.
I wrote the SPI cgminer driver for the BlackArrow miners (yeah that was a crap waste of time, their hardware was major fail and the company ... well that's another whole issue ...)
I wrote the updated SPI driver in cgminer for the bitfury clone boards.

Yes bitmain is a GLPv3 copyright violation and I've pointed that out to them also before.
Considering the fact that I updated their problematic code in the S1 and S2 and they ignored those fixes even since back then, I really am jack of them.
They don't really care about these problems even though I've repeatedly tried to get them to take notice.
Mining with an S3 is a loss for me, mining with an S5 makes about $1.50 a day for me.
Yeah joys being a developer that gets paid $1.50 a day ... as long as I don't pay for the hardware ... if I was paying for it, that would be a major loss for me Tongue

Maybe they are now taking notice because they are no longer making literally millions of dollars a week selling their hardware like they did earlier.
Though ... each time they have contacted me, or I have contacted them, nothing has come of it with regards to cgminer.

P.S. another bitmain employee (not in china) pointed these posts out to me.
