It was in 5.14, but was not declared stable until 5.16. If you don't ned
bells and whistles (or high performance), you can run with scfb. It is
working fine for me and has been for a few months.

Hre is my config file (xorg.conf.d/device.conf):

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "scfb"
Option "NoAccel" "On"
EndSection
