Note Note: lk2nd is a hard dependency, without it the mainline kernel will not select the panel.

$ pmbootstrap install
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_lk2nd
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs

Status

The Motorola Moto G6 is supported by upstream lk2nd. There is an initial device tree in upstream Linux for the Motorola Moto G6.

As of 11/21/2021, a device tree, panel driver, and kernel configuration have been added to the msm8953 mainline kernel fork, and patches have been submitted to upstream Linux to add initial support.
