Yes, we do arrange more resources to do upstream task for mt6765,
clk/pinctrl drivers are almost ready to submit. systimer is under
reviewing (v9).
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mediatek/2018-July/013989.html

other drivers including
pmic/pwrap/i2c/rtc/kpd/spi/wdt/cqdma/auxadc/pwm/cmdq/disp. We have
dedicated owners to handle them and will cowork tightly with members to
make sure things happen in the following weeks.

For previous chips, we did have no enough support after shell. It is due
to fast pace of smartphone SoC and other resource issues. We also know
that is no excuse so that we already confirmed owners and their
schedules for mt6765.

If there is any suggestion, please let us know.

Thanks.
