The biggest problem is that "upstream" is $vendor in a lot of cases, so fixing it once in OE is more productive than patching N vendor kernels. I agree that mainline should have the working version, but for my current project mainline doesn't even have support for this SoC and won't have till devicetree has cured worldpeace. regards, Koen
