Some suggestions:
* The PR has no reviewers. The project gets a large amount of submissions, the ARM/AArch64 groups alone will generate over 200 mails per day from GitHub. You may not have sufficient GitHub permissions to add reviewers, but you can use @<github username>. See https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#making-and-submitting-a-patch 
* Adding a new target, albeit more of an environment than a target, usually needs a RFC on Discourse to get support. Accepting a patch introducing a target means taking on the maintenance burden for it. There may be a reluctance to accept from a PR alone without a plan for how this can be maintained, for example does this new target have a maintainer? Are there sufficient people with experience to review the patches? Is there a buildbot to stop it from getting broken? See https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#adding-a-new-target 

Personally I would start with a RFC. With luck that will find similar people that also want this feature and will help with reviews. I can't guarantee that will happen, but I think is your best chance.
