tb323fu-linux t51 — kernel for the Lenovo Legion Tab Y700 gen 5 (TB323FU)

7.3.0-rc4-tb323fu-t51: mainline v7.3-rc4 + patches 0001–0132 (kernel/patches),
tb323fu-linux 43ee432. What works: docs/hardware-status.md.

What's new

Patches 0131 and 0132 on top of kernel-t49 (same configuration):

• Night light without the blink: setting or clearing a colour matrix (CTM) no longer forces a full modeset once
  the display has its colour block (DSPP), so a night-light fade no longer turns the panel off and on at the start and
  the end. One modeset remains for the first CTM after boot; a compositor that sets an identity CTM with its first
  modeset avoids that too (patch 0131).
• Charge current limit: the battery manager's fast-charge current limit is readable and writable as
  /sys/class/power_supply/qcom-battmgr-bat/constant_charge_current (µA, up to constant_charge_current_max)
  (patch 0132). With it, Open Device Helper 0.4.2's Bypass keeps the charger at 9 V (about 21 W) instead of letting
  the firmware drop to 5 V (about 12 W): the battery takes ~85 mA and still helps under heavy load. Do not write 0:
  the firmware then stops charging until the charge limit is crossed again.
• dsiN: pclk=… byteclk=… is no longer printed for every DSI command (it filled the log).

Still true

• The CPU cluster idle state stays out of runtime idle (patch 0118, cpuidle_psci_domain.allow_cluster_off=0): with
  it the tablet reset when left idle. Suspend still uses it.
• No USB root shell in release images (how to build one).
• No firmware inside: drivers that start before the root (GPU, Bluetooth) log a missing-firmware error and recover
  once it is mounted (details).

Install

• With Open Device Helper: tb323fu-ctl kernel update (or About → Kernel Updates). It runs the kernel on trial
  and goes back by itself if it does not start.
• By hand: python3 boot-repack-kernel.py stock-boot.img Image-tb323fu-t51 linux-boot.img, then write it to
  boot_a (docs/install.md).
  There is no ready-made boot.img: its header and signatures are Lenovo's and must match your tablet.
• If it does not boot: hold volume up + down for 10 s to return to Android, or restore boot_a over EDL
  (docs/recovery.md).

You provide: your stock boot.img, the firmware from your own tablet
(firmware/), and
/etc/tb323fu/android-boot.sha256 for the way back to Android.
