Panthor is for supporting newer Mali GPUs that implement Arm's v10 GPU architecture. This project ports Panthor to the RK3588 EVB platform based on the Rockchip Linux 6.1 kernel.

Since Panthor is released based on the Linux kernel version 6.8, some adaptations to the drm driver are needed when porting it to Linux 6.1.

The Panthor code is obtained from the Linux repository of the Panfrost freedesktop project, branch panthor-next+rk3588, based on the following commit:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/panfrost/linux.git
commit d72f049087d4f973f6332b599c92177e718107de

Mali-G610 CSF firmware obtained from the following repository:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git

The Panfrost userspace driver's support for ARM Mali v10 GPU has been merged into the Mesa mainstream. Mali-G610 user driver is compiled and installed using the Mesa 24.1.0-devel (git-4586451b2d) mainstream version for testing.
