Is Banana Pi BPI-R3 fully supported starting from kernel version 6.3?

The linux 6.3 release announced support for Banana R3. What does this mean for end users? Do I still need a custom kernel for my Banana R3 starting from version 6.3 or does it works well with the official kernel?

@frank-w

It is running on 6.2 also pretty well.

Basic support is in 6.3 mainline (afair 6.2 needs dts patches).

Both will miss thermal/pwm as i currently try to get it into mainline

Like I said in NixOS on BPI-R3, I want to install NixOS on my r3. In NixOS we have a simple way to patch the kernel. Where can I find a patch that fixes these problems? or maybe a set of patches?

Just look what i do in my kernel repo (e.g. 6.3-main branch)
