       | GPU on Spacemit SoCs.

         | The bigger hurdle will likely be the display controller. The
         | TH1520 and JH7110 both use the Verisilicon DC8200, whereas the
         | Spacemit K1 uses a custom display controller that will need its
         | own DRM driver mainlined.

       | Fantastic, good work. I'm looking forward to mainstream RISC-V.

       | just let this worse standard die already - and switch to
       | DisplayPort
