I just built a linux-image .deb from the MR branch, and after some
quick testing everything is working well. So I support this MR getting
merged and closing this bug ticket.
Diederik provided me with a new v6.10 kernel build to try:

6.10~rc5-1~cknow (2024-04-24)
I can confirm

I finished my first round of testing the new kerned on my BPI-R3 board.
I have had problems trying to get a v6.8 kernel build working from
Dederik's Salsa fork (
https://salsa.debian.org/diederik/linux/-/tree/bananapi-r3-support/debian).
This likely due to my unfamiliarity with building the Debian
This weekend I went over the current Linux BPI-R3 Device Tree file in the
linux master branch in order to fix some issues I encountered with the
Ubuntu 6.8 kernel.
I compared everything to the BPI-R3 schematics as well as the MT7986

Hi Diederik,
Thanks for the update - I noticed you have popped up in a few places
related to the Mediatek SoCs.
