Linux Patches Work To Upstream Raspberry Pi's RP1 PCI Device Support

[fallingcats]

In the meantime, we are stuck with kernel 6.6 under RPi OS. So even if there are updates via the kernel, we do not benefit from them ;-(

It would be necessary that, like Arch Linux, they offer either to use the latest LTS kernel, or the very latest stable kernel from kernel.org (kernel debian testing). Same thing for Mesa we should be able to use the very latest version...

What's your use case for something even newer than the current (and supported) lts kernel on the RPi?

I think the pi is good, I have one from the first series myself, with the gpios it is useful for experiments but also because of the low power consumption it could be used as a mini home server 24hd(just like cubieboard or odroid). So more suitable for learning and experimenting...
but do you really need the latest kernel for a raspberry?
