Unfortunately it's still on the low level and will find it's way in the standard kernel hopefully.
I have no insight on that yet, but am using one adapted C level patch suitable for my kernels.
If you want to step in and use the available patching offer you need to get familiar with: installing kernel headers and sources, install toolchain, compile kernel and kernel modules, apply patch to kernel module files, install changes modules and test and verify the result.
And that's mainly on C development level ...
One path of source for that maybe:

(but it depends highly on your linux system)
If you are not familiar with that keep your fingers away .... (it will cost some time and can't be explained in detail here since the guys working on that level spend much of their valueable time in solving the issues).
Alternatively you can try one of the offered hda-verb solutions. Maybe start reading with:
https:/
(but you need to figure out what verb sequence is suitable for your system)
