that's great, thank you very much! I have received a reply from Jeff in the meantime who has discussed the matter with his managers and unfortunately, they are not interested in supporting this chip as it's considered outdated and would pose maintainance burden. Jeff however thinks that you as their customer may perhaps have more luck when talking to them. I am also still trying to find out whether upstreaming the old firmware version (available as part of the stock Android) would be an acceptable compromise for them - I never really intended for this to be supported officially and I wasn't too hopeful about getting an up to date version of the firmware either (although it would be very useful as it would likely solve the issue I'm hacking around in the third patch of this series), I mainly just want to upstream the support for the chipset as far as possible. Please let me know when you have some news. Thanks again and best regards, K. B.
