Is an equally fine solution to get a rebased version of this patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220131133049.77780-2-robert.marko@sartura.hr/

to Lee, given that Robert indicates the driver has users?

AFAICT it was just reverted out because of process, not
because of any problem wit the driver/subdrivers themselves.

Lee might have something to add though.
