Linux 7.4 Gains Improved GPU Reset for Raspberry Pi Broadcom V3D
Linux 7.4 is slated to include improved GPU reset support for Broadcom V3D GPUs, which are commonly found in Raspberry Pi boards. This enhancement, merged into the DRM-Misc-Next pull request this week, targets the VC4 kernel driver. The improved GPU reset mechanism aims to provide better stability and recovery capabilities for these systems, particularly in scenarios where the GPU might encounter issues. Additionally, the same pull request integrates new HDMI 2.0 helpers for various Direct Rendering Manager drivers.
