[closed] Support for Braswell SoC

I have an Acer Chromebook CB3-431-C5FM that I have been trying to set up with Arch.

It has an Intel Celeron N3160 which uses the Braswell architecture.
The built in keyboard and trackpad do not work with the stock Arch Linux kernel. As it turns out this requires that the kernel be compiled with the CONFIG_PINCTRL_CHERRYVIEW=y as was suggested to me both on this Coreboot for Chromebooks Google Group thread and in the forums.

I have recompiled the Arch Linux Kernel with the above mentioned kernel config parameter and built an Arch Live iso that I remastered with the new kernel. To my delight the keyboard now works.

My question is whether the Arch Linux Dev team is aware of this issue and whether they have any plans to start compiling the kernel with this config param?

Thank you

Not much point asking here: better to open a feature request on the bug tracker, that is where the devs will see it.
