Hi Daniel,

DRM Display support for the S905Y2 will be available in Linux v5.2,
but necessary devices (mmc, sdcard, sdio, ethernet) will land in Linux v5.3-rc1
in allmost 4weeks, but you can check the integ tree to test these features as
described on http://linux-meson.com/doku.php#development_resources :
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/khilman/linux-amlogic.git/log/?h=v5.3/integ

Video decoder support for S905Y2 is in the work, bit we mainly focused to have
the bare minimum driver being merged for S905/S905X/S912 before pushing more
complex decoder and new SoCs support :
https://github.com/Elyotna/linux/tree/mjourdan/media/v5.2/aml/vdec

BTW, you are very welcome !

As Chen-Yu Tsai said, we idle on #linux-amlogic IRC channel on freenode and
activaly use the linux-amlogic@lists.infradead.org ML.

You can also join the u-boot-amlogic@groups.io ML if you are interested in
mainline U-Boot dev for amlogic SoCs.

Neil
