The Sony sdm630/6 phones are shaping up really well, but most of the work is not upstreamed yet mainly due to SMMU maintainers not liking Qualcomm code and looking for cleaner solutions. As time progresses, more things will see the light of the upstream. The current-ish progress can be seen on my github [1]. And much more is yet to come. Regarding msm8992/4, there is a need for the 20nm DSI PHY driver. It exists for every other gen of qcom SoCs since 2013, but due to low interest in these platforms, this specific one never got there. I tried emailing the person who wrote most of the present ones, but gmail told me the mail didn't exist :shrug:. >> Should we have some kind of linux-phones mailing list?

With the release of the PinePhone and the Librem 5, the Linux mobile community has entered its heyday and plenty mobile-oriented distributions have arisen (for example Mobian, Manjaro ARM, Pure OS-ARM etc.) and some have gotten more attention than before (think Ubuntu Touch, Maemo Leste). pmOS is only one of many. The current thing to do is every distro maintains their own kernel (or over 100 like in pmOS, which is terrible for the poor CI :/) and only a small percentage of patches end up being upstreamed for various reasons (clean-ness of the code, will of the maintainers, time constraints..). As time goes, we're gonna see more stuff being added. [1] https://github.com/konradybcio/linux/commits/58ninges_labs Konrad
