Could you add rt8821cu driver support in future releases? The latest release of openelec already has support for this driver, I would like to be able to use wifi based on this chip here as well.

The openelec release is about 2 years old and its probably a dead project now that wont see any updates in the future.
Do you know why the rt8821cu driver is not upstreamed to mainline kernel? The developer also dont answer the question here: Getting included/merged into linux kernel source · Issue #7 · brektrou/rtl8821CU · GitHub
It the driver were inside the linux kernel, it would make everything much more easy.

Sorry, I was wrong, I wanted to say about CoreELEC.

CoreELEC is always using the same 3.14/4.9 versions of linux kernel, so it's easy to maintain those RTL drivers.
With LibreELEC someone should always fix the driver for the newer kernels.
