I'm asking this question as a Magic Lantern over EVERYthing loyalist, so don't kill me for asking. lmao

Has anybody ever attempted it, or is it known to be impossible?  (and I'm sorry if this has been asked a million times, I don't hang out in the general discussion often)   

One may ask, "but why would you need to?" and before today, I would have said there really wouldn't be too many reasons, but now that the BRAW format has been released for the Pocket 4K, people are discovering that BMD will no longer include shooting in CinemaDNG with their cameras, thanks to RED patents.  From my understanding, the patent only refers to "compressed RAW", so why wouldn't BMD settle for removing compressed and use uncompressed along with BRAW, unless their cameras don't have the horsepower?  Basically, all this has led me to asking this question here...to people I know that know their shit. lol
