What happened here? Years ago Linus was talking about how he thought positively about Rust in the Kernel in the future if the kinks could be worked out. Now a group of people have built out a set of drivers which are working great, well tested and integrated, and one maintainer has decided they just don't want to merge it so the whole project is indefinitely stalled.
I'd be pretty upset if I was working on Asahi since the Linux project has basically bait and switched them after an enormous amount of work has been invested.
The project isn't stalled they can implement it directly in the driver, they wanted to put it together with DMA code because it wouldn't need to be copied to every driver, what's fine, but the project isn't stalled
