Not yet. I was going to upstream a HiSilicon SoC Hi3798MV200 that will 
use this driver. But the progress is interrupted. I don't have free time 
to finish upstreaming it now.


Maybe i will resume working on the platform in the future. But it may 
take years i think.


Feel free to drop this driver if you think it's not useful.
