Rather than lack of interest, there's lack of resources.

I'm the only X maintainer left at OLPC, and as you know I've
been traveling a lot lately, and I'm planning to travel some
more over the next few weeks.

This limited time has been used to convert the driver to new
interfaces that have been published for a long time.
All other drivers have been converted already by their
respective maintainers, without bothering downstream
distro maintainers like myself.
