You've been great to work with in the Asahi Linux project and it's unfortunate that it's been so hard to make progress in upstreaming support for Apple ARM platforms. I hope that there's some reflection on both sides and there's an opportunity in the future to rekindle and improve the relationship between the Linux kernel project and Asahi Linux contributors. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!

Hi marcan, It is sad to see you go, I believe there are issues in the kernel development process as well. Aside from Apple Silicon Macs, your work has greatly simplified the work required for booting Linux on iPhones and iPads. However, Sven Peter is still listed as maintainer, so for upstream purposes, will the https://github.com/asahilinux/linux tree be used in the future, or perhaps the tree should be removed from the MAINTAINERS file as well?

But based on what happened in the Rust/DMA thread, it was only a matter of time. There are admittedly quite a few issues with the way the kernel development process works as well as how the community is managed, and I hope that it will improve with time. Hopefully your efforts will indeed continue downstream, and people will put in the effort to upstream your work with you having resigned. I also hope that you may decide to come back in the future, if things do indeed improve. Evelyn

I no longer have any faith left in the kernel development process or community management approach. Apple/ARM platform development will continue downstream. If I feel like sending some patches upstream in the future myself for whatever subtree I may, or I may not. Anyone who feels like fighting the upstreaming fight themselves is welcome to do so.
