Comment 60 for bug 1269883

Hello, I am experiencing this using an Azulle Byte Plus device which has this chipset onboard running kernel 4.17.17.

I am wondering if anybody is working on this or if there is any additional information not available here or one of the other linked bug reports. I would like to attempt to fix the issue, but if there is any additional information, it would save me time to have that. I also don't want to step on anybody's toes if they're already looking into it.
