How to backport the panfrost driver on the ARM Chromebook from kernel 5.15 to kernel 5.4
Backporting a driver from a newer kernel version to an older one can be a complex task, especially if there have been significant changes or dependencies between those kernel versions. Here's a general guideline for backporting the Panfrost driver from kernel 5.15 to 5.4 on an ARM Chromebook: **Note:** This process can be quite challenging and may require some experience with kernel development and understanding the specifics of your ARM Chromebook's hardware. Make sure to back up your data and have a way to recover your system if something goes wrong. 1. **Download and extract the source code**: - Obtain the kernel source code for both kernel versions 5.15 and 5.4. You can usually get the source code from the official kernel repository. 2. **Prepare your build environment**: - Ensure that you have the necessary tools and dependencies installed to compile the kernel. 3. **Identify the changes in the Panfrost driver**: - Analyze the changes made to the Panfrost driver
