Google is just ignoring the request at this point but I think it would be a very appreciated addition considering the number of +1 in the official IssueTracker (Google Issue Tracker)
I’ll open an issue for this feature request, but I think the best place to see this implemented would be at the LineageOS level, then all derivatives (including iodéOS) would benefit. We typically don’t expand our scope to hardware enablement / fixes.
Well yes, certainly if / when our devs implement it then we would consider a PR to upstream, we are all in this together. I do know our dev team is quite loaded right now so we need to wait and see when they may have capacity to test and implement this.
