On patchwork this patch is in the state "Under Review". Did you change
this? What does this mean? Does indeed someone look into this patch?

There was some discussion in reply to this patch, but that doesn't
affect correctness of it. It's just that there are still some problems
in the driver that this patch doesn't address, but the net effect of it
is still positive.

Best regards
Uwe
