Huh...

I had to do just a little bit of digging to find the original thread,
but it really doesn't seem to me like there was a consensus on whether
or not to take the patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190730122534.30687-1-rdong.ge@gmail.com/T/#u

Reason I say that is that the thread is rather old, and died off quickly.

Someone involved with that patch may be able to offer the answers you're
looking for, if they haven't forgotten about it after all this time.
