@usual user In essence, I'm not waiting for someone to do the work for me. Realistically, if I knew exactly how to do it, I would have done it and described it here. If I make something that could be useful for someone or the community, I share it. I rarely write because in most cases I use standard things and there's not much to write about, or I use quite non-standard solutions that for most people aren't solutions.

I think this patch can also be backported to 6.18.y in Armbian if @rpardini didn't plan to do anyway.

http://blog.armbian.com/content/images/2025/12/githubhighlights-2.pngThis week in Armbian development saw a series of refinements and maintenance updates across the build and configuration repositories. Contributors focused on workflow standardization, cosmetic improvements such as board name adjustments, and documentation enhancements. Several technical fixes addressed typos, property mispellings, and package issues, while platform support was expanded with kernel and boot improvements for devices like the Mekotronics R58-4x4 and MusePi Pro. Notable changes also included vendor reorganization and the addition of fallback logic for Ubuntu LTS releases. Overall, the activity reflects ongoing efforts to streamline processes and bolster hardware compatibility.

Waiting for others to do the work is a good strategy. If everything goes well, it will land at the earliest in 6.20, if improvements are needed, 7.x is probably more likely. When the corresponding kernel will be included in the chosen distribution is the next data point. You are clearly aware of what you have to wait for. Until then, I will simply continue using the necessary modifications as a self-written DTBO, which I have been doing for some time. But maybe you'll get lucky and someone else takes the burdon to apply the patches as an early adaptation, so you can just sit back and do nothing and still enjoy the upcoming availability.

Good morning @Werner Thanks for the patch. I'll probably wait for the new kernel and test it. The project is long-term. For the first answer "to address myself" :). I think I understand what you're saying. Thanks :). If I find a solution to this, I'll share it with the community, as I've been doing so far @usual user Thanks for the answer. Today is the 31st and I'm thinking of not working on servers, happy new year and may the next one be fruitful for all of us. Best regards, A.H.
