Linux 6.16 To Add Asahi UAPI Header For Apple Silicon Graphics But No Actual Driver Yet


Submitted today via DRM-Misc-Next for queuing in DRM-Next until the Linux 6.16 merge window in June is the Asahi driver user-space API 'UAPI' header

Submitted today via DRM-Misc-Next for queuing in DRM-Next until the Linux 6.16 merge window in June is the Asahi driver user-space API "UAPI" header. But due to being written in the Rust programming language and various kernel abstractions not yet ready among other obstacles, only the user-space API header is set to be added and not yet introducing the actual Direct Rendering Manager driver. However, as a production graphics driver, it depends on a significant number of Rust abstractions that will take a long time to upstream.
