Hi,
since this feature affect multiple branch, the prereq of this branch are
still not in linux-next. (the prereq series got accepted but still has
to be merged)

Lee created a branch.

We are waiting for RC stage to request a stable branch so we can
reference ti to correctly test this.

Anyway you should be able to apply this series on top of this branch [1]

Consider that a v2 is almost ready with some crucial changes that should
improve the implementation. (so if you are planning on adding support
for other device I advice to check also v2, just an additional ops to
implement)
