It would actually be better if vendor would bring their stuff

Microchip about their upstreaming efforts? What was the answer?

Agreed. Though in this case, the original patch *was* submitted by
Microchip (by Tudor, originally) for upstream inclusion, but it was not
merged. Hence this forward-port.

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.

Did you reach a conclusion internally regarding whether to support this
patch? Since then, I opened a ticket with Microchip, but haven't got a
response yet. I have also been in face-to-face contact with some of the
engineers from the Rousset office, and they have expressed their
support, and even the possibility of lending us a SAMA7G5 to test with.
So really, all I'm waiting for is this patch to be merged, and then I
can submit the SAMA7G5 parts, at worst as an RFC, if we don't get the
real hardware in time.
