@CameronNemo:

Of the many patches I linked to, only one of them mentions Alt-DP mode: “[This fixes USB 3.0 and Alt-DP modes in reverse plug orientation](https://github.com/SvenKiljan/archlinuxarm-pbp-packages/raw/main/linux-manjaro/4006-arm64-dts-rockchip-rk3399-pinebook-pro-Support-both-Type-C-plug-orientations.patch)”.

If I understand correctly, your preference is to do away with the pinebookpro-kernel template. But we’re using this template today, and I don’t think it’s valid to reject all modern pbp patches shipped with new pbps as part of Manjaro on the basis of Alt-DP mode being buggy.

> Are you actually seeing errors with the microSD card slot? I've not heard anyone complain who uses Void.

I routinely encounter this error with one of my SD cards.

In general, I disagree with the idea that only “upstreamable patches”, as you put it, should go in pinebookpro-kernel. If we’re not willing to include bespoke patches designed for the pbp in a template called pinebookpro-kernel, then we shouldn’t be using pinebookpro-kernel at all.

Anyway, I think this warrants a larger discussion, so I’ll be opening an issue to bring this debate to the attention of more Void pbp users.
