Hello, In the forthcoming future I intend to upload m1n1 to backports-NEW. m1n1 is part of the bootloading chain on Apple Silicon machines. Starting with linux 6.18, a more recent version of m1n1 than 1.4, which is currently in testing, will be needed for USB-C support on Apple Silicon platforms. At some point (when, exactly, is still unclear), that will include DisplayPort (Alt Mode) support on those platforms. Having m1n1 >= 1.5 in stable-backports is thus necessary both for newer kernels and for new hardware support. Cheers!
