Recently, Xiaomi announced Xiaomi 12, 12X, and 12 Pro smartphones in China. These come with all of the features and specifications that we can expect from any device of this age. They are yet to go on sale and the company has already released the Android 12 based kernel source code for the devices.
They may be of little importance to regular users, but will certainly be helpful to developers and enough skilled tinkerers who want to push their tools to the limits of their capabilities. Kernel source codes are important details that help developers to build custom kernels and ROMs for devices.
Xiaomi smartphones have been popular in the developer community for years. This is because the company is known to release the kernel source code for its handsets mostly on time. As a result, Mi, Redmi, and POCO-branded phones are more popular than any other device in the custom ROM community.

All Xiaomi smartphones work on MIUI. However, not all users like it, and hence, power users manage to install custom ROMs. Since the firm allows users to unlock the bootloader, release the kernel source code and provide better hardware at an affordable price tag, Xiaomi devices have remained popular with this specific audience.
Anyways, with the release of the Xiaomi 12 kernel source code, we can expect developers to start working on compiling TWRP recovery, custom ROMs, custom kernels, and more for this handset in the coming days.
The source codes can be viewed from GitHub. The following are the links for Xiaomi 12 kernel source code. In addition, the company has uploaded the sources for the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE.
