External GPU for current Bianbu - what's the situation?

Hi,

I have a Radeon Pro W6400 en route to add a more capable GPU to my K1 Milk-V Jupiter. It’s running the most recent version of Bianbu, I’ve ensured amdgpu Mesa support is installed, and it is running some version of 6.6 as the kernel. Mainline doesn’t give me the option to download a newer kernel version. Can I expect the current release to properly support RDNA2 without heartburn, or should I look for a newer kernel version and bleeding edge Mesa to improve my chances?

Thanks in advance!

Update: card has arrived and has been installed. Updated /etc/environment to point to the W6400 instead of the PowerVR, rebooted, and neither display was initialized. Looks like Bianbu does not presently include the amdgpu kernel modules, which is not a convenient answer, but gives me a place to start working. If Bianbu/SpacemiT happens to be hosting prebuilt modules using the same toolchain as the rest of the kernel I could just install without compiling the whole thing, it’d be very helpful to know that.
