Rotate Display in Gnome on wayland

So the question; is it currently possible to rotate displays in a (dual) display configuration under gnome via wayland?  It is clearly possible under xorg, via randr, but this results in horrible screen tearing on the rotated display when scrolling webpages.  Under wayland, there is no screen tearing (ever), so I think this might be a solution if I can get the screen rotated.  There are obviously many other benefits of wayland as well.  The settings are missing under the default screen utility for gnome, as well as under aranadr.  I am running radeon git drivers and have tested with both the EnablePageFlip and the new TearFree options for xorg to no avail.  Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Re: Rotate Display in Gnome on wayland

I hope you don't mind this post--I'm following this bug:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745079

It says it's largely repaired but not integrated. Not sure if we can implement this patch yet?
