I'm happy you ask ;)
Currently pure kernel.org doesn't boot much because quite a few patches
are still being upstreamed, like this one.

In terms of git tree, this here is the last tag for everything I have
working on the device, it's ~100 patches on top of v6.6, a good chunk
should be merged for v6.7-rc1 already:
https://github.com/z3ntu/linux/commits/v6.6.0-sc7280

You can flash the device with that kernel and postmarketOS using the
pmbootstrap tooling:
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_5_(fairphone-fp5)
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Pmbootstrap

Let me know if you hit any issues, or if I can help somehow.

Thanks!
