Hi Andrew,
That is another issue. It make no sense to merge without having at least one wifi driver support the needed frequency bands.
In the V2V research community there are working out-of-tree patches for at least ath9k and proposed changes for ath10k. I think here applys the chicken and the egg problem. Why should 802.11p patches be merged upstream, when nothing is using them?
how does the Linux Foundation Automotive Grade Linux fit in?
Up to now I didn't know such thing as Automotive Grade Linux exists. In a quick online search I only found stuff related to 5G [1], not to 802.11p. In their mailing list there was one discussion regarding 802.11p, which actually was about OCB and ath9k stuff [2] and an lwn article about it [3]. I think that is too less of discussion, if they had a working implementation.
