Will serialization factor of 6 in LVDS serdes IP be supported in the future on Agilex5?

I was hoping to use LVDS serdes IP to implement acquisition system of 12 -bit ADC data using 2-wire LVDS:  However, this is not possible if only serialization factors of 4 and 8 are supported. ...

Hi Aqid,
deserialization factor of 5, 6, 7 or 10 is a common LVDS IO use case. To achieve it with Agilex 3/5 SERDES, parallel data need to be reassembled across word boundaries.

Presently, SERDES limitations of Agilex 3/5 and lack of ready-to-use soft IP supporting other deserialization factors is preventing wide usage of the new device series.
