AMD Linux Graphics Driver Now Allows Display Support With Modern GPUs On LoongArch


Following the Linux 6.13 DRM feature pull this week that brought many new open-source kernel graphics driver features, it's now time to further stabilize that new feature code with fixes

Sent out today were a batch of fixes for the AMDGPU/AMDKFD kernel driver code targeting the early Linux 6.13 state. Similar to the change made to the AMDGPU driver several months back for DC display support on RISC-V hardware to be able to drive monitors on RISC-V systems with recent generations of Radeon GPUs, the AMDGPU driver now allows for DC use on LoongArch hardware. This LoongArch AMDGPU DC support wasn't authored by AMD engineers but rather an open-source contribution from Loongson.
