Graphics/Display Driver Changes Begin Queuing For Linux 6.16 This Summer
While the Linux 6.15 merge window only ended last weekend, new feature material is beginning to queue for DRM-Next ahead of the Linux 6.16 kernel cycle kicking off in late May or early June
Yesterday DRM-Misc-Next submitted its first set of changes to DRM core and the random smaller Direct Rendering Manager drivers. Some of the other patches in this initial DRM-Misc-Next pull include documentation updates, splitting the HDMI audio code within the DRM bridge code to make DisplayPort audio work (will be used by the MSM Qualcomm Adreno driver and elsewhere), using 4K page table format for the Panfrost and Mediatek drivers, and various other changes. Expect a lot more feature work -- especially for the more prominent Intel and AMD Radeon kernel graphics drivers to queue up over the coming weeks.
