Xiaomi has finally published the kernel source code for the Mi 5

When an Android manufacturer releases a smartphone, they are legally required by the GPL to release the kernel source code as well.

Some OEMs are good about this, but others are not. Xiaomi's Mi 5 was released in China back in April and the company has just gotten around to releasing the kernel source code.
