Only Linaro can answer what happened up to 2018, as this driver originally came from a Linaro tree, which has exactly one commit for this driver: https://github.com/96boards-hikey/linux/commit/08464419fba2417aa849fce976fac9c5f51b3ada#diff-604ef8563dcd9ace6e3e58aac38337c72924b0889f6972d7ee9e15e2335ba964 After merged upstream at staging, all changes are covered by the Huawei's copyright (2020-2021). So, I'll just drop this patch. If the information is not accurate, someone from the original copyright holders can send followup patches. Thanks, Mauro
