Looking at http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort , I see that HDMI is listed as "in linux mainline since 4.15". Yey!
progreeeess.... slow but getting there.
LVDS is still listed as "WIP" and VGA and CVBS are still listed as red no-s, and VE (Video Engine) is listed as WIP.
make sense now, vincent?
I knew that very well, that's my homepage ;-) Waiting for HDMI / H3 also...
But your advocating people to continue to work on ultra-obsolete versions (security-wise, etc) instead of pushing people to work on upstream is what I found kind of strange.
But that's my personal opinion, and you're right to chose what's best for the eoma project. We may not have the same priorities.
No harm intended
