All pi4 kernels/kernel headers, bootloader, eeprom and raspberrypi-userland packages have been upgraded and pushed to the unstable branch when the mirrors sync.
The linux-rpi4-rc kernel still has configs to boot with UEFI.
The rpi-eeprom package has been switched over to pull from git. The only change is that the March image that was in “stable” is now been promoted to “critical”. The rpi-eeprom-git package has been removed from all branches.
The raspberrypi-userland-aarch64-git package had boardflags added for the pi 400 and the pi-cm4.
Next week, the current RC kernel should go mainline. Will the EFI kernel settings also go to mainline or will they remain limited to the RC kernel?
And since there is no voting for RPi kernel updates, to comply with the desire for only issues and fixes to be posted in update threads, I’ll give a thumbs up when the update goes smoothly and I’ll comment only when I hit a snag.
Did a fresh install of manjaro recently and while the graphics driver problem persisted on the linux-rpi4-rc kernel, both linux-rpi4 and linux-rpi4-mainline work fine. I’m using mainline for now.
The latest linux-rpi4 & linux-rpi4-mainline kernel and the 2 latest raspberrypi-bootloader packages have been pushed to the unstable branch when the mirrors sync.
The linux-rpi4-mainline kernel is now version 5.12.0-1. The version 5.11 is history. Kernel 5.12.0-1 has UEFI boot modules enabled.
The latest linux-rpi4 kernel/headers, raspberrypi-bootloader and rpi-eeprom packages has been pushed to the unstable branch when the mirrors sync.
The rpi-eeprom has upgraded to pieeprom-2021-04-29.bin in “critical” and also what appears to be an ethernet probing fix for the pi400.

KMS has not worked with KDE Plasma since early on with 5.10 kernel. Now two full kernel versions later and still broken… I do not expect it will work.
Edit:
I tried the latest Plasma on kms and I still receive the same errors:
[ 138.458964] [drm:drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_dependencies [drm_kms_helper]] *ERROR* [CRTC:76:crtc-3] flip_done timed out
[ 138.458963] [drm:drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_flip_done [drm_kms_helper]] *ERROR* [CRTC:76:crtc-3] flip_done timed out
These result in temporary system hangs rendering the system pretty much unusable, open a youtube video in a browser and you end up pulling the power to reboot.
That patch looks to be @ a year old. Although I do not see that error here I do see it in a lot of dmesg’s posted when people have other various issues and it shows up so I do not know what to think about it. Wonder if it is just running a check of sorts when something else get enabled.
