Phoronix: DRM-Misc Begins Preparing For The Linux 4.20~5.0 Kernel

Sean Paul of Google who herds the drm-misc-next code into DRM-Next sent the first pull request of new material targeting the next kernel cycle, Linux 4.20 but more likely to be known as Linux 5.0...

If the Kernel is named 5.0 instead of 4.20, I'm switching to FreeBSD.

Might want to try a PC-focused derivative instead, like TrueOS.

Typo:

- Adding a per-plane blende mode property to the user-space API.

This article has several typos:

With just being not even one week past the Linux 4.19 merge window closure, the 4.20 material so far is quite light. CHanges include:

- Adding a per-plane blende mode property to the user-space API.

- A driver for the TI SN65DSI86 MIPI DSI to eDP bridge chip.

- Support for the Rockchip PX30 in that ARM display driver. The Rockchip RX30 was announced earlier this year as a quad-core Cortex-A35 design with Mali-G32 GPU and supports MIPI DSI / parallel RGB / LVDS display outputs.

- The Allwinner Sun4i DRM display driver now supports the R40. The R40 SoC is another Allwinner quad-core Cortex-A7 desing with a Mali400 GPU.

I really hope the next release is 4.20, just because the number is dank.
