Thanks for your patch. We are planning to revive this work at the 
earliest. While I don't have specific timeline for this, we at Microchip 
are fully aware of this gap and doing everything we could to keep the 
delta between the upstream kernel and vendor kernel as minimal as possible.

We will discuss internally and provide you the feedback. Thanks again 
for your efforts.

Regards,
Hari
