For 8.x, aarch64 is an official RH Arch, so we use the same configs that they provide. The only way I see is though the proper Stream channels, I mean filing an issue in bugzilla.redhat.com under CentOS Stream, providing the patch and seeing where that goes. It would be interesting to check in the 8.x release notes if this driver wasn't specifically deprecated. If it were x86_64, we could add it to the plus kernel, but I think we don't build it for aarch64. Wrt altarch kernels (5.4.x at the moment), we use the same configs for 7.x and 8.x, so hopefully we'll be able to build and release them soon for 8.x too. > What are the steps to achieve that?
