Hello Xiaomi Kernel Team,
I am writing to formally request the release of the complete and corresponding Linux kernel source code for the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro
Codename: piano
Model code: 25091RP04G (and related regional variants)
These devices are commercially available and ship with a Linux kernel licensed under GPLv2. As per the requirements of the GNU General Public License version 2 (and consistent with Xiaomi's long-standing practice of releasing kernel sources via this repository), the corresponding kernel source code should be made publicly available.
I have checked the Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource repository and could not find a branch or release for the "piano" codename (or any matching entries for these model names). Community is interested in custom ROM development, kernel modifications, security research, and general openness.
Releasing the kernel source would greatly benefit:
• The custom development community (custom kernels, recoveries like OrangeFox)
• Users interested in building their own firmware or understanding device internals
• Compliance with open-source licensing obligations
Could you please provide an estimated timeline for when the piano kernel source (matching the current shipping firmware, e.g., HyperOS 3 based on Android 16) will be uploaded to this repository?
Thank you very much for your attention and continued support for open-source compliance.
