Do you have a link to some of the discussion around this? I'm curious to hear what kernel devs thought of the driver and how it was introduced to them. Is there a talk about it? Or mailing list archives? (Or both?)

From the Linux Plumbers Conference from a couple days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw9pKeJ-4Bw&t=8040s (Warning: It's a longer stream, but the timestamp should be where the driver is shown. There's a table of contents down in the comments.)
