Let me share little insight: TUXEDO sells by request modified barebone notebooks 
and develops drivers for them. If less hardware modifications are required we 
can sell the final device cheaper. In this case it was decided that for the time 
being support via DKMS is sufficient and not worth the price increase resulting 
from requesting a hardware modification. Especially since the driver is already 
on it's way to upstream.

Also the yt6801 is somewhat new, but probably not too exotic in the near future. 
Because of this, I too hope that the driver for it is soon upstream ready.

Best regards,

Werner
