Linux 7.3 To Support The Qualcomm Adreno 704 & Adreno 722 GPUs

Sent out on Saturday were the Qualcomm MSM DRM kernel graphics/display driver updates to land for the upcoming Linux 7.3 merge window. This MSM driver feature pull going to DRM-Next adds support for the Adreno 704 and Adreno 722 GPUs. The Adreno 704 is the GPU found with some embedded platforms like the UNO-Q. The Adreno 722 meanwhile is the more powerful sibling found with the likes of the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC. The MSM driver pull also adds Device Tree bindings for supporting the upcoming Qualcomm Shikra SoC. Qualcomm Shikra has been seeing lots of Linux enablement patches as of late and now the GPU support for it will also be in position for mainline Linux 7.3. The MSM updates for this next kernel version also bring improvements for FBDEV emulation, teardown fixes, and a variety of other fixes. The full list of Qualcomm MSM kernel driver patches for Linux 7.3 can be found via this pull request. The Linux 7.3 merge window is expected to get underway during the second half of August.
