Even Mainline doesn't have it yet ...
Patches from Pantelis Antoniou have been submitted several times, first time in 2013, and now after several versions, still not there.
I've personally struggled to get that into Armbian 4.6.2, comparing Raspberry, Beaglebone and CHIP implementations, and pure coincidence, I've finally succeeded yesterday.
Now, time to develop several overlay other the simple tests I did until now.
Maybe I will start some kind of backport into PineA64 later, depending how much code differ ...
Unfortunately, such backport seem to be ugly !
Even I wish to get it done, it will probably take to much effort.
I'm throwing the towel for now ...
