Subject: Addition of config USB_HSIC_USB3613 soon?

Dear Vaibhav, dear Johan, dear Alex, dear Greg,

I have seen that the greybus arche driver has been under heavy
development in 2016 and 2017 with some further clean-up in 2019.

However, so far, the config GREYBUS_ARCHE for this driver still
depends on the out-of-tree config USB_HSIC_USB3613, with a proper
exception made for compile testing (with COMPILE_TEST).

Will this USB_HSIC_USB3613 config and driver still be added in the
mainline kernel in the near future, so that the config dependencies
are consistent in mainline?

Or, are the further out-of-tree additions still maintained for the
current kernel and will stay out of tree? Is this arche driver not
needed anymore and can be dropped?

Best regards,

Lukas
