Graphics Driver Changes Begin Queuing Ahead Of Linux 6.17


While the Linux 6.16 merge window just passed one week ago, already there are new feature changes beginning to queue for the Linux 6.17 kernel later in the summer.

This week the first batch of drm-misc-next changes were sent in for what is targeting the Linux 6.17 kernel cycle. On the DRM core side this pull brings support to DRM core for HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) handling as well as YUV420 output support. Various Linux DRM drivers have already supported HDMI CEC while now there are various CEC helpers added to the common code as well as some other common improvements around this specification that makes it easy to control HDMI connected devices.
