From https://mastodon.social/@CounterPillow/1...8399386896 (the same (i'm assuming) user appears to also post here).
I can't even speculate what that means or if it's true.
Yes it's the same user and yes it's true and it has been accepted by the kernel (subsystem) maintainer:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rockchip/2...k@163.com/
This means that it should become part of the 6.8 kernel.
This is really cool, but AFAIK not (yet?) relevant for Pine64 as they don't have a rk3588 based board (apart from the QuartzPro64 provided to devs).
I don't consider those rumors though as it all happens in the open on (f.e.) the linux-rockchip mailing list.
