Linux 6.19 is out with 7 contributions from Root Commit:

These are mainly Device Tree contributions to support completely new boards in the Linux kernel, such as Asus Tinker Board 3S (arm64) or Orange Pi R2S (riscv), or to expand support for existing boards, here for Orange Pi 3B (arm64) and Orange Pi RV2 (riscv).

These changes were also accompanied by multiple updates to Yocto Project’s BSP layers, first in meta-riscv:

And also in meta-rockchip:

Booting Linux 6.19 on OrangePi RV2

If you own an OrangePi RV2 board, its very easy to build an image for it using Yocto:

$ git clone https://github.com/riscv/meta-riscv.git
$ kas build meta-riscv/kas/orangepi-rv2-mainline.yml

See docs/orangepi-rv2-mainline.md in meta-riscv for details about flashing and booting your image.
