No reply on that (yet). Good luck with talking to the companies, hopefully that will work. Anyway, I've applied this series, thanks for this, let's see what breaks now :) greg k-h

I found it. It is very important for Debian MIPS Ports as we are using some of Octeon machines. > > greg k-h

They've contracted support for the old Cavium Octeon designs out to an external company. I'm not sure that means that we'll see some action on these drivers any time soon but at least they're doing something.
This series re-instates the octeon drivers that were recently removed and addresses the build issues that lead to that decision. I've approached Cavium/Marvell about taking a more active interest in getting the code out of staging and into their proper location. No reply on that (yet).
