I2C devices. PCI and USB would be pretty much everything you'd get on a desktop or old-school Intel laptop, but for SoC tablets, convertibles and low-powered laptops, this wouldn't cover much. The ACPI DSDT would also be useful in figuring out what devices are unsupported. > [0] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Smolt_retirement > [1] https://github.com/npmccallum/census > [2] https://github.com/npmccallum/census/blob/master/client/plugins/ > [3] https://github.com/npmccallum/census/pull/3 > > > -- > Jeremy Cline > XMPP: jeremy@xxxxxxxxxx > IRC: jcline > > > _______________________________________________ > kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
