The current encoding, is done by converting 13bits of input into 4 decimal digits, that are then encoded efficiently using the numeric encoding of the QR code specification. The Fido v2.2 specification [1] uses a similar approach for its QR-initiated authentication. The only difference is that it converts 7 bytes (56bits) of input into 17 decimal digits. The benefit is that the algorithm doesn't require to split input bytes into 13bits chunk, and the ratio is a bit better. This improvement was proposed by Jó Ágila Bitsch in [2]. drm_panic is still young, and the QR code feature is not widely used, so it's still time to switch to a common algorithm, shared with a widely used standard. I also changed the name of the url parameter, from zl= to z=, so the website can keep backward compatibility if needed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
