    Well, it is about code quality. And the same codebase should work on different hardware, which is not something that is required in downstream forks.

    But it is sad to see that the driver was submitted in the past, is still actively developed and improved, but there doesn’t seem to be plans of submitting them again.

        Nothing of this is a burden, it is just part of being a good contributor that reads and follows the rules. Contributing is pretty easy, when you have read and are following the guide. If you haven’t already, you should try it.

        I am pretty sure that this isn’t the first contribution of Valve to the Linux kernel.

  Luckily their work is still done in the open and I can use the driver on my Deck on OpenSUSE despite it not being in the kernel.

    Will they upstream those drivers to the kernel?
