I would refer you to the release announcement:

http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2017-November/003904.html

Use at your own risk. But at least you now know the device is supported 
upstream, so you can head over to Red Hat and file an RFE to request 
support be backported from the upstream kernel.
