The first DRM-Misc-Next pull request for the upcoming Linux 7.1 kernel was submitted this week, initiating the queue for new kernel graphics and display driver features. This early submission includes new drivers for the Verisilicon DC8200 and Coreboot Framebuffer. These additions will be integrated into the Linux 7.1 kernel, which is anticipated to be released mid-year, providing support for these specific display hardware components.
