What's the status of this series? With this I have gotten Bluetooth to
somewhat work on sm7225-fairphone-fp4, which is using WCN3990/WCN3988.

Is there another solution with a different patch series that could make
it work also?

The latest I could find regarding some new Bluetooth thing is the
following email from June 2022, but nothing seems to have happened since
then.
