  Looks like a lot of “Partial” support. Some concerns:

  • volume cannot be applied in software
  • On v24.12, the current is limited to 1 Amp and there is no thermal mitigation for charging.

  Maybe it’s fine? Idk.

    Battery charging is ofc an issue for main driver , but if you can live with it I’d say it’s ok , no thermal control shouldn’t be an issue at 1 amp . Basically at that you can’t use the phone while charging and expect not to run out of juice.

    Volume control yea needs testing I guess. Feels it can be an issue or not

      Yeah, I could live with the charging, provided it can charge overnight. The volume is the real concern.
