The vendor's release is 4.5 based, and 4.6 has some performance regressions with this chip. We'd like to sync up the FSF sources with the minor patches the vendor is using, so that their customers can take advantage of other 4.5-based bug fixes in the FSF tree. Note that no target actually uses these macros at the moment.
