Description
It has been over 110 days since the release of the Redmi Note 15 4G (January 15, 2026). As of today, the corresponding kernel source code has not been published, while the 5G variant (kunzite) sources are already available.
This is a direct violation of the GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2). Under Section 4 of the GPLv2, your right to distribute the Linux kernel terminates automatically upon violation of the license terms.
We have formally logged this violation and are preparing a report for the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC). We request that Xiaomi immediately restores compliance by publishing the spinel kernel tree to this repository.

No file, test, or repository entry point is named; done would be publication of the corresponding spinel kernel tree in this repository.
