Hi Angus,

There are still lots of SAI patches that need to be upstream. Me and Andra
will be working on that over this summer.

Yes, you are right on this. We are trying to slowly push all our internal-tree
patches to mainline. Obviously, with started with low hanging fruits, DTS

Soon, we will start to send patches for SAI IP ipgrade for imx8.

internal patches.
But we will get there hopefully this summer.

Thanks,
Daniel.
