Well if @spikerguy already added it to another kernel, we might have missed that for another device it might be also useful. I can adopt this patch for sure to one of the newer kernels. However I didn’t had time to test the pinephone at all recently. Beta 16 was tagged a while ago. So if the community does an overall test, like:
- device boots up
- all applications pre-installed open up
- overall UI is more or less working
- basic features are working
- audio & mic
- phone calls
- power management (like suspend)
- I/O like audio jack, HDMI
… then we can write the release changelog and announcement for others to adopt to this version. For Beta 16 it is overdue.
Please check if this kernel has HDMI audio as wanted: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/packages/core/linux-pinephone/-/pipelines/12622
