However, the only machines that were ever supported upstream are the reference designs, not actual set-top-box devices that would benefit from this support. All ZTE set-top-boxes from the past few years seem to be based on third-party SoCs. While there is very little information about zx296702 and zx296718 on the web, I found some references to other chips from the same family, such as zx296716 and zx296719, which were never submitted for upstream support. Finally, there is no support for the GPU on either of them, with the lima and panfrost device drivers having been added after work on the zx platform had stopped.
