Charging

** Display refresh rate is now 120 Hz since Linux 6.7.

**** Forget this outdated word "OTG" please, since this is often related with device uses Micro USB port.

*As we all know, Mi Pad 5 has an active UEFI support, for both 's UEFI and support. Now the Linux 6.1 can be booted with the device tree and an initial ramdisk image(can be generated by initramfs-tools in Ubuntu or mkinitcpio in Arch), the mainline kernel can also boot, too.

*** A workaround is available, see for more details (tests needed).
