Description

Hello,
The POCO M8s is a commercially available Android device distributed by Xiaomi.
As this device ships with a Linux kernel licensed under GPLv2, I would like to request the corresponding Linux kernel source code, as required under the GPL.
I have checked this repository and could not find kernel sources for this device. The codename has not been officially confirmed yet, but community research suggests it may be spring — shared with the Redmi 15 5G.
The kernel source is needed to support active development efforts for this device, including custom recovery (OrangeFox/TWRP), custom ROMs such as LineageOS, and kernel-level optimizations for the community.
Thank you.
