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.

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.
