I recently bought a display that depends on the following driver:

Could I get these drivers added to the kernel build for:

Looking at kernel.opensuse.org, kernel-source.git master branch has CONFIG_FB_TFT=m set in config/arm64/default, and so does stable branch. So before we discuss making changes to Leap releases, please verify that it works with a Kernel:stable (i.e., Tumbleweed) or even better Kernel:HEAD kernel-default. The latter is where new and experimental drivers get enabled. I need to know exactly which config options you need, as I do not have any MIPI DSI displays myself - there's several CONFIG_FB_TFT_* sub-options available.
If it does work, the next question is, are all options available on openSUSE-42.2 branch. If so, you'll need to open a Bugzilla ticket. Ways to contribute yourself would be sending a patch to opensuse-kernel list or doing a pull request on GitHub (may need a ping on the list), but for stable branches a boo# is required. Whether kernel maintainers agree to enable new options for 42.2 now is out of our control; note that 42.3 is in the works.
You will probably need a devicetree overlay for the display as well. These are typically not autoconfigured. Thanks Michal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
