This is subject to speculation. David Illies, our TI field application engineer, keeps telling us that 3.2 will be supported "eventually". I personally don't think they ever will - the commit history in their public git does not look like anyone is doing any portage work. Plus 3.2, the version they keep mentioning, is starting to smell oldish as well. I would very much like to see support for dm81xx in something _current_, but it's unrealistic given previous experiences with TI. >>> the stock one from meta-ti + some platform patches.

Since you're on 8148 as well, and in case you would like to stay up-to-date on what we're doing, just check https://github.com/DFE/HidaV from time to time.
