The Asahi Linux project, which is working to implement support for Linux on
Apple CPUs, has published a detailed 6.19
progress report.

We've made incredible progress upstreaming patches over the past 12
	months. Our patch set has shrunk from 1232 patches with 6.13.8, to
	858 as of 6.18.8. Our total delta in terms of lines of code has
	also shrunk, from 95,000 lines to 83,000 lines for the same kernel
	versions. Hmm, a 15% reduction in lines of code for a 30% reduction
	in patches seems a bit wrong…

Not all patches are created equal. Some of the upstreamed patches
	have been small fixes, others have been thousands of lines. All of
	them, however, pale in comparison to the GPU driver.

The GPU driver is 21,000 lines by itself, discounting the
	downstream Rust abstractions we are still carrying. It is almost
	double the size of the DCP driver and thrice the size of the
	ISP/webcam driver, its two closest rivals. And upstreaming work has
	now begun.
