There exist a pach, which was never completed so never included.
Besides, the cirrus status in mainline is incertain, since people at
cirrus have decided they would continue to maintain their own fork of
the Linux kernel, with a supreme disdain for the Linux kernel coding
rules. See the linux-arm-kernel mailing list for details.

There seem to be a recent interest in mainline support for cirrus
processors. Anyway, in case you wonder why we focus on mainline support
only: because maintaining support for patched kernel is a major PITA and
becomes obsolete fast. So, our current active development branch is
Linux mainline, exclusively. We make an exception for the AT91 patch,
because it is an "antichambre" of the mainline support for AT91, not a
fork, and even then, we try hard to make an adeos I-pipe patch which
applies with or without the AT91 patch.
