that's great, thank you very much!

I have received a reply from Jeff in the meantime who has discussed the
matter with his managers and unfortunately, they are not interested in
supporting this chip as it's considered outdated and would pose
maintainance burden.

Jeff however thinks that you as their customer may perhaps have more
luck when talking to them.

I am also still trying to find out whether upstreaming the old firmware
version (available as part of the stock Android) would be an acceptable
compromise for them - I never really intended for this to be supported
officially and I wasn't too hopeful about getting an up to date version
of the firmware either (although it would be very useful as it would
likely solve the issue I'm hacking around in the third patch of this
series), I mainly just want to upstream the support for the chipset as
far as possible.

Please let me know when you have some news.

Thanks again and best regards,
K. B.
