I tested these, and they seem to work fine on first impressions. Everything works as expected. I will do some extended testing over the weekend.

Thanks!

After some more testing, I came across a few items of interest:

1) Analog audio is now in true stereo. I guess the 5.15.y kernel fixed the mixed channel issue. Yay!

2) Bluetooth does not work out of the box. A bit of investigation revealed this error message in /var/log/syslog:

Code:
Nov 21 03:20:24 pinebook kernel: bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for rtl_bt/rtl8723cs_xx_config.bin failed with error -2
a search found these:

Code:
/lib/firmware/rtl_bt/rtl8723cs_xx_config-pinebook.bin
/lib/firmware/rtlbt/rtl8723cs_xx_config
So I tried a simple symbolic link:

Code:
ln -s /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/rtl8723cs_xx_config-pinebook.bin /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/rtl8723cs_xx_config.bin
And after a reboot, bluetooth works again. Yay!

I am not sure what the easiest fix would be. Can we have the script add that symlink at build time? It seems like an upstream pinebook-specific file naming issue, so I am not sure what another easy fix could be.

Thanks again!
