I'll say, I'm not really surprised. The firmware here is probably not in
any maintained nor widely used state.

I don't really know of one right now. I expect the CI is not active.

To speak practically here: there are likely no real users of this
development board, and if I'm the only one actively trying to use it
with upstream Linux as a development vehicle, I can simply carry this
change locally. It's probably not worth a lot of people bending over
backward for it, unless I'm wrong and there are more people using it. I
was just hopeful that I could reduce some friction for myself, and the
limited (possibly zero) population who might also run into problems
here.

Unless you really want to move forward, I'll move this from my mental
back burner to cold storage :)

Thanks for your time,
Brian
