I didn't really know who to contact at Samsung, so I've searched the web for Joosun Hahn and Sung-Kwan Kim. They both had addresses from the Memory & Storage Architecture Lab at Seoul National University, but they seem no longer active. I've also tried the inquiry form on the Samsung web page, but got no reply. It'd be great if you could get Samsung to work on this too, I guess they weren't originally so keen on mainlining it when it took the Software Freedom Conservancy to get them to release the code [1], but now that it's out in the open they might as well take the benefits from mainline inclusion.
