Hi Ferruh,

Unfortunately, this driver may not be merged in 21.05, to follow the roadmap.
There is not enough time for me to improve the patches, because I was busy with other works in these weeks.

I'll try my best to submit the driver in this release cycle, and hope it will be merged nicely in next release.

Thanks.
