Seems like we might be in a catch-22 situation here.  This patch series has been in review around 6 months no and I have yet to see any feedback from the DT team.
Do you ever reach out to them to try to get closer?  If you have had luck, perhaps you can send a quick email to them to get this driver off your plate. I’m sure you
would rather have this resolved on off your queue so you can have more time for other more important matters.
