@moyanming, the DLLs most likely belong to the nvda-misc-deps repo - as all other binary dpendencies do - and will thus require a second PR just for them.
As stated by @feerrenrut in #9479 (comment), we're waiting for @michaelDCurran thoughts on this matter.

What is the license for these 3 dlls? Is the source code available? Our policy these days is usually not to add device dlls to NVDA, preferring pure Python code, or at very least, public access to the source code, what ever the language.

This looks like a new incarnation of #9479. I expressed my concern with this driver in #9479 (comment). Long story short, I agree with @michaelDCurran

Looking at the properties for these dll's, they are "Copyright Silicon laboratories, Inc". We have no license to use and distribute them. Given there is no indication that the PR author is going to seek a license to use these files, unfortunately means I will have to close this PR. I'll also mark it as abandoned, we haven't heard from the author since April.

I would like to welcome anyone interested to seek a license for the NVDA project to use these files.
