linux

Do you know more details how much the efforts are progressing regarding mainline support for those mobile devices? I've only observed some of the discussions over at pmOS (and some at ArchLinuxARM for that matter), but to me it's very unclear what the "workflow" should look like if I would have, say, a patch ready for my pinephone's drivers. A lot of different efforts seem to be somehow widespread across the interwebz, with varying degrees of stability, and seem to be very uncoordinated or isolated efforts. I'm asking this, because I've seen that the nix file builds from megous' fork [1] so I'm a bit unsure on how "official" it is in regards to whether or not pull requests/patches submitted there will be integrated upstream. (Sorry if I misunderstood it, but I'm a bit cautious having developed on dozens of abandoned forks of Linux kernels

There's no single place. Ideally this question should be answered by "use the mainline kernel", and eventually it will. I'm aware of three maintained kernel trees specifically for PinePhone: Samuel's: https://github.com/smaeul/linux Mine: https://github.com/megous/linux/ Pine64: https://gitlab.com/pine64-org/linux/commits/pine64-kernel-5.... I think at the moment all of those are pretty much equivalent feature-wise, except for some mild differences. It's not possible to workaround (in software) anything that requires CC pins to work properly, that includes setting up display port alternate mode.
