Most notable to this Freedreno's MSM driver work for Linux 4.12 are changes to allow for 4K (3840 x 2160) display support on newer Qualcomm hardware. Changes to this KMS driver were needed for allowing modern Qualcomm hardware to allow for mode-setting and display at the 4K resolution.
The MSM driver is also now making use of OPP (Operating Performance Points) and there is more prep work towards supporting per-process page-tables.
More details via this pull request. Rob continues doing great work on MSM/Freedreno and great to see Qualcomm's QuIC continuing their patches to this open-source DRM/KMS driver.
