## About the driver
-This is the Mesa and DRM driver for Broadcom VC4 hardware. It is notably used in the Raspberry Pi hardware (including Raspberry Pi 2). Hopefully we can upstream the kernel driver, and replace the closed-source graphics stack in Raspbian with it.
-
-Builds of raspbian using the driver can be found at <http://sukzessiv.net/~gohai/vc4-buildbot/build/>
+This is the Mesa and DRM driver for Broadcom VC4 hardware. It is notably used in the Raspberry Pi hardware, including Raspberry Pi 2, and included as an option in the [2016-02-09 Rasbpian release](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/).
## Kernel driver status
-The kernel driver can be found at: <https://github.com/anholt/linux/tree/vc4-kms-v3d-squash-2-boot>.
+The V3D kernel driver is now upstream in kernel 4.5. The devicetree has not been updated for the driver, so you can find a patch for that at: <https://github.com/anholt/linux/tree/vc4-kms-v3d-squash-2-boot>.
-A port to the downstream 2709 kernel for Raspberry Pi 2 can be found at <https://github.com/anholt/linux/tree/vc4-kms-v3d-rpi2>.
+The Raspberry Pi Foundation's [kernel tree](https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux) now includes the driver in the current rpi-update 4.1 branch, and also the 4.5 branch.
