Re: kernel modules for rockchip video for pinebook pro and rockpro64

so,what happens here ? to test the code created by JSM on the radxa zero 3W
we should wait until the 15-stable has matured enough,right ? So it seems
that JSM created a code that can't be used at the moment. I've thought that
if this can be done,even the patches for 14.x can be ported to 15.x before
it matured :D

it isn't. Never asked for a full time job from you.
