Additional information

According to the discussion on Matrix, the culprit is probably a lack of kernel module support.

This isn't a very high priority issue of course, but it would be nice if I could use my PinePhone as a low power art machine. But I don't think it makes sense to install the module for everyone, so maybe it could be moved to a separate package?
