[RFC PATCH 0/1] Various config changes for better Bay and Cherry Trail support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

For the last couple of months I've been working on improving Linux
support for Intel Bay and Cherry Trail devices as a spare-time project.

A lot of my changes for this have landed in the 4.12 kernel, see:
http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/

The proposed config changes enable various drivers to make these
improvements available for Fedora users.

Most of these changes just enable modules, but there is one change
which also impacts non Bay and Cherry Trail x86_64 users, the proposed
changes also change the I2C_DESIGNWARE controller options from module
to built-in. This is necessary because Bay and Cherry Trail devices use
an i2c attached PMIC which provides an ACPI OpRegion and this OpRegion
must be available before any devices with _PS0 or _PS3 methods which
use this OpRegion get their drivers bound to them.

I'm not expecting any side-effects from this change, but I wanted
to point this out just in case.

Unless there are objections against these changes I plan to push them
to the master branch around the end of next week.

I also plan to add some small isolated code-fixes which missed 4.12, and
have been queued up for 4.13.

Regards,

Hans
