This footprint was generated using kicad footprint generator, adding the following code to scripts/Packages/Package_NoLead__DFN_QFN_LGA_SON/size_definitions/dfn.yaml :

However, it can't be integrated there. See details at: kicad-footprint-generator#647 (closed)

The first page of the datasheet says that this device has indeed a DFN package. However, due to its special pin numbering, it needs manual rename of the edge pin 2 to 3. Since this is only one footprint, it is not worth to write a custom generator only for it.
