No one really knows, as there is no organized effort to make it work. Basically it is just volunteers who work on it when they feel like and currently the FP5 doesn't seem the priority. But overall the FP5 support in PmOS isn't too bad, however cameras also don't work and the internal speakers don't work either.
There is an organized effort for Fairphone. Luca Weiss here is the Fairphone-employed drivers mainliner. It's awesome.
(however there is no public deadline on anything afaik)
