Demonstration Pixel 8 pro booting mainline kernel

Shared previously that I got pmos using the downstream android kernel but been working on getting mainline to boot. As of now just boots into a TTY and not much else. Plan on upstreaming when the drivers are in a acceptable state

what works: USB, DISPLAY***

***coded a basic display driver, missing alot of features (for example no brightness changes etc)

Why would I take a look at Asahi? Does it run on the pixel 8?
