## Mode of integration

Describe whether you'd like to integrate this external component in the main tree
or as a module, and why. If the mode of integration is a module, suggest a
repository name for the module

## Pull Request

Pull request (if any) with the actual implementation of the integration, be it
in the main tree or as a module (pointing to your own fork for now). Make sure
the PR is correctly labeled as "DNM"

## Description

Long description that will help reviewers discuss suitability of the
component to solve the problem at hand (there may be a better options
available.)

What is its primary functionality (e.g., SQLLite is a lightweight
database)?

What problem are you trying to solve? (e.g., a state store is
required to maintain ...)

Why is this the right component to solve it (e.g., SQLite is small,
easy to use, and has a very liberal license.)

# Dependencies

What other components does this package depend on?

Will the Zephyr project have a direct dependency on the component, or
will it be included via an abstraction layer with this component as a
replaceable implementation?
