Description

The general improvements for RK3588 on 6.9 and 6.10 weren't as many as we've hoped, but still this is what was mainlined:

  • USB3 DRD support, including PHY usbdp
  • HDMI PHY
  • GPU

We already had most of those features patched in via patches, but this gives us the chance to finally be able to remove those and stay closer to mainline. -> PR summary: (+5,895 - 28,098) ~= 22,000 lines less 👍 (meaning less hassles in the future, less maintenance needed)

In addition to that, I have also updated our patch to support RK3588 thermal sensors and management, enabling and improving the use of cooling fans. This patch also includes updates for CpuFreq and OPP.

We had an old patch that patched in the HDMI Controller driver, but this patch does not build on 6.10. Fortunately, I was able to include a new, improved version for this driver, which is as recent as 1st of June.

Since out "general-add-overlay-compilation-support.patch" became obsolete in Linux 6.9 (see AR-2352) , @paolosabatino developed an improved way on adding overlays as first seen in https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/6690. I have adapted this patch for 6.10, which also paves the way for other kernel bumps to 6.10 in the future.

In addition to that, there are some fixes included for Orange Pi 5 and Khadas Edge 2 patches, which were failing on 6.10.

Please see the commit messages for details.
