It was added to staging for almost two years ago. Please see the original patch submission. https://lwn.net/Articles/726355/ Recently they moved it out of staging (via merging drm-next-2019-05-09). https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit= /?id=3D131abc56e1bacef23cb7b340519d36e2f5adb2a9 It means Linux 5.2 release will have it by default.

But if it's suppose to be in a working state I can take a look..= =2E.. AFAIK VirtualBox graphics stack is in a working state.
