Kernel
Enhancements are added on top of the official
v5.10 Linux kernel tag where most of the Microchip SoC features are already supported. Note as well that we re-integrate each and every
stable kernel release on top of this Long Term Support (LTS) kernel revision. This means that each
v5.10.x version is merged in our branch.
Here is a little summary of the main additional enhancements:
- Integration of stable kernel updates up to v5.10.80
- WILC: Update driver & firmware to 15.6. Addition of WPA3 security support
- WILC: New power sequencing driver
- Addition of the new SAMA5D29 SoC as part of the SAMA5D2 family
- I2C: bus recovery mechanism and digital filter for SAMA5D2 ICP and SAMA5D27 SOM1 EK boards
- Crypto: Import enhancements from Linux Mainline. They fix corner cases for few cipher modes for the crypto drivers: AES(ECB, CBC, CFB, OFB, CTR, XTS) and DES(OFB) modes
