Well, for me it is running and I am not aware of bigger issues. But I am not using it daily so that I may miss some problems.

Yes, the new panel driver will not come before v5.12. But IMHO it has no functional difference. Is just much cleaner and upstreamable code. So no need to wait for it.

I think there was some fix a while ago which may also be in 5.9.
But I currently don't have the Pyra in operation to check.

Generally I think the best strategy for PyraOS would be to use and maintain
5.10.y as the next long-term kernel.
