Yes, the patch for this board was submitted by me.
This is a tv box evaluation demo board that we use internally,and it is not sold to the public.
I submitted it to the mainline because it is small, compact and streamlined, it easy for me
to use it test the mainline vop2 driver.
I think i am currently the only user who will use this board run the mainline kernel.
I'm not sure if we can let it go.
