Interesting. Why isn't this patch mainline? Keeping such things
out-of-tree are likely to cause maintenance overhead in the future, and
people who don't want to (or are unable to) compile a kernel themselves
will not benefit from it.

Tobias doesn't seem to have a public mail address (at least I didn't
find any in his GH profile), so I can't ask him whether he considers
sending a patch for inclusion.

Orm, would you be up for it? It needs to be done by someone with access
to the hardware for testing. There are some things that need cleanup,
but we can best discuss those in replies to a patch.


Thanks,
Daniel
