Hi,

It turns out that support for this driver would require a very large
backport with several series of patches, involving significant
refactoring, code movement and other code change. This makes it very
hard for us to be sure that our backport is correct, and that it's not
going to fail unexpectedly on this new model or on any of the many
older models supported by this driver.

Therefore, we have decided that the complexity and risk of regression
is unacceptably high, and we will not be providing a backport to the
4.4 kernel series.

This means that you will need to use the HWE kernel for this
chassis. The Artful kernel, which is out next week, has full support.
