18:05 <alfredo-test> Can I ask a question?

18:05 <HdkR> Sure

18:05 <clover[m]> You just did

18:24 <alfredo-test> Hi, do you have any update about the support for snapdragon 8cx?

18:24 <alfredo-test> Gen 3 SC8280 is fully supported by linux kernel 5.19.

18:24 <alfredo-test> Gen 1 SC8180X should be supported starting from linux kernel 6.1.

18:24 <alfredo-test> Gen 2 SC8180XP ?

18:24 <alfredo-test> I have a lenovo ideaPad 5G 14Q8X05 with snapdragon 8cx gen 2.

18:40 <steev> unlike x86 machines, just having the support in the kernel doesn't mean your machine will work, arm* need device tree files written for your device

18:49 <steev> i tend to... try to think of audio as little as possible ;)

18:49 <alfredo-test> So I should not expect any support soon (1 year)?

18:53 <hexdump0815> alfredo-test: it needs someone who writes the device tree for the device which is a non trivial thing to do

18:55 <hexdump0815> currently it looks like new windows on arm machines appear faster than capable people or people with the proper information at hand sit down to write the device tree

18:55 <HdkR> If only the devices shipped their own hardware descriptions that the kernel could parse and use

18:56 <hexdump0815> HdkR: acpi dsdt :) - but looks like the information in there is not always complete and not always correct
