But that's included as source and released by Micronas as GPL. What I meant
with "you can't simply" was that you need to do the all the diff'ing and
porting the additions to a newer kernel version, which will not be actively
supported. You can do it but I doubt the gain and RMM will stick to the
"official" kernel version provided by Micronas anyway.
