Saw this link with some CentOS info:
https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=thread&topic_id=28472&forum=39

Following that eventually led to this:

So it appears that you can load the mainline kernel and automagically
get support for the device. I haven't located a module for the stock
upstream vendor's kernel though.
