The present status of the phonon code is written at the beginning of the
PH/phonon.f90 file:

  ! ... Presently implemented:
  ! ... dynamical matrix (q/=0)   NC [4], US [4], PAW [4]
  ! ... dynamical matrix (q=0)    NC [5], US [5], PAW [4]
  ! ... dielectric constant       NC [5], US [5], PAW [3]
  ! ... born effective charges    NC [5], US [5], PAW [3]
  ! ... polarizability (iu)       NC [2], US [2]
  ! ... electron-phonon           NC [3], US [3]
  ! ... electro-optic             NC [1]
  ! ... raman tensor              NC [1]
  !
  ! NC = norm conserving pseudopotentials
  ! US = ultrasoft pseudopotentials
  ! PAW = projector augmented-wave
  ! [1] LDA, 
  ! [2] [1] + GGA, 
  ! [3] [2] + LSDA/sGGA, 
  ! [4] [3] + Spin-orbit/nonmagnetic,
  ! [5] [4] + Spin-orbit/magnetic (experimental when available)

  ! Not implemented in ph.x:
  ! [6] [5] + constraints on the magnetization
  ! [7] [6] + Hubbard U
  ! [8] [7] + Hybrid functionals
  ! [9] ? + External Electric field

HTH,
