Support for Pro Micro nRF52840 Board

I have some of these boards which come already flashed with the AdaFruit CDC/DFU/UF2 bootloader, allowing them to be programmed without a dedicated programmer. I wanted to get started with the nRF Connect SDK, but it looks like support was only added to the Zephyr project about 7 weeks ago.

I tried copying various files from the Zephyr main branch to my NCS 2.9.0 directory, but inevitably that just resulted in increasingly difficult to solve build errors. So I have two questions about using this board.

  1. Are there any hints as to when the next release of nRF Connect SDK is expected, and is it likely to include these Zephyr changes from 6th January?
  2. If unlikely within the next few weeks, then how might I take the work already done to support this board and use it with NCS 2.9.0?

Thanks for reading.
