Major Chinese ODM Inspur has been working on this Yhgch DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) driver for the Linux kernel. Yhgch is for an Inspur SoC/BMC chipset but details beyond that are light.

Tldr

Thanks, so jumble of letters 1 is implementing a driver for jumble of letters 2.

Do they name their stuff by pulling tiles out of Scrabble set?

It's the only driver that can render Cthulu.

Seems like it. To summarize, they're making a driver for a specific chip on a specific board. Weird news, imo.
