I have seen them try.  There was a v5 patch for dpaa_eth in December 2015,
but I don't know what happened after that.

There is drivers/staging/fsl-mc/ in the most recent kernel, but I am
not sure that's everything needed yet.

In fact today there was:

http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1609.2/04508.html
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1609.2/00356.html

So they are trying again it seems.
