upstreaming driver into Linux mainline

[okias]

Hello,

First and foremost, I'd like to thank you for making your driver available under a FOSS license that is compatible with the Linux kernel.

I assume this repository is connected to the official development of the tfa98xx driver. I would be interested if Goodix considered sending the patches directly into the Linux kernel. I assume it would be really beneficial for the customers to have a long-term supported upstream driver.

There is already some support for a few Goodix TFA98xx chips (for example, https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/alsa-devel/patch/20211024085840.1536438-5-vincent.knecht@mailoo.org/ ).

If there is some interest from Goodix, I believe the Linux community would be willing to help you with the inclusion process, providing testing and reviews.

Thank you!

Hello Danny,

thank you for reply.

Would it be possible to at least provide documentation for TFA98xx family or at least TFA9894 (which is used in the Snapdragon-based OnePlus 6T and others)? In case an NDA is required, I believe some team members would be willing to sign it.

Best regards
David

Kind reminder.
