I wonder what this means for the Steam Machine.
What is the difference between this implementation and the reverse engineered patches that were published a few months ago by Michał Kopeć and Tomasz Pakuła?
Edit: apparently it’s not the same patch, but Tomasz was CC’ed in the patch set so the timing might not be accidental.
What has changed that allows them to do this, or are they just ignoring the HDMI Forum?
Typical Phorinix. Wil not elaborate what FRL is.
The first paragraph:
It’s not complete HDMI 2.1 support but to much surprise hitting the mailing list today were official patches from AMD for implementing HDMI Fixed Rate Link “FRL” support for their kernel graphics driver. HDMI FRL as part of HDMI 2.1+ allows for higher bandwidth to support higher refresh rates and resolutions.
How much more of an explanation do you need?
