Phoronix: AMD Platform Management Framework Merged For Linux 6.1 With Many Laptop Improvements

The platform drivers x86 updates were merged a few days ago for the Linux 6.1 kernel. Most notable is the introduction of the AMD Platform Management Framework (PMF) while there are also a number of laptop driver updates too as part of this feature update...

Will this affect the Steam Deck?

Does this affect any AMD laptop currently on the market?

"This AMD Platform Management Framework in Linux 6.1 is now ready to go ahead of next-gen AMD Ryzen systems having this platform capability."

Does this mean that the exising 6000 series APU's don't support the PMF functionality arriving in kernel 6.1?

Rembrandt is the first platform to support this. There is an option in the PMF driver to enable this on rembrandt for testing.
