An early xmas present: 6.1 kernel
#1
Big Grin 
If you care for a stroll on the bleeding edge, A 6.1 kernel for the Pinephone has landed.

Download the deb, do a "sudo dpkg -i linux-image-6.1-sunxi64_6.1+sunxi64-1_arm64.deb", then reboot and you should be good. Do "uname -a" to check. The install doesn't overwrite anything related to the 5.15 kernel but will add a stanza to /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf for the 6.1 kernel as the default entry. If you want/need to switch back to 5.15, changing the default selection should do it.

I'm hoping this might fix, or at least reduce, the "fail to wake" problems and perhaps take care of the spontaneous reboots as well. In any case, it sounds like 6.1 will be the kernel released in bookworm.

I've only been running it a couple hours but have gone through my usual post-upgrade checklist with no new issues. I haven't tested any bluetooth stuff.
