bq. I couldn't find any description anywhere

Me too.This is why the patch from January 2019 only appeared here a week ago.

Projects dahdi-linux and dahdi-tools are almost not supported or developed. Repositories on GitHub are mirrors of such on git.asterisk.org, changes to which arrive with a delay of several months: even a release is not a reason for mirroring. So you can wait even longer on GitHub then here.

P.S. I have a whole series of fixes to work netdev on DAHDI accumulated over the past four years and used in production. (Plus HDLC fixes, netdev over hard HDLC support, PPP fixes, added single span device support to wct4xxp (supported previously by removed now wct1xxp), et cetera.)
