I believe that Mauro requires that before he will merge this driver. So I think this driver will be ready to be merged once v4 is posted, dt-bindings is Acked and the firmware is merged to the linux-firmware repo. Regards, Hans

It was planned indeed to get the firmwares into linux-firmware, I'll speed this up. dt-bindings was reviewed by Rob but I forgot to add it in v3, I'll fix that in v4.
