Dmitry and I are still working on getting the users of this into the kernel. the chips are multifunction devices, and their drivers are depending on a lot of incompletely merged code and APIs. The drivers _are_ working and _are_ in use in a half dozen devices. I know the delays are a pain but theres a lot of work going on in the backround on these. The code has not been forgotten.
