Kernel version 6.4.10 for @PINE64 #PinePhone / #PinePhonePro has been released to the testing repository.
Notable updates include the removal of bootsplash support, the addition of support for various USB peripherals, BPF, and kernel security modules (LSMs).
For those still interested in boot splashes, we recommend considering Plymouth as an alternative solution: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Plymouth
Please let us know if you encounter any issues with the new kernel.
