Kernel
Enhancements are added on top of the official
v4.9 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
v4.9.x version is merged in our branch.
Here is a little summary of the main additional enhancements:
- Integration of stable kernel updates up to v4.9.87
- Addition of the Peripheral Touch Controller (PTC) input driver with firmware and configuration files management
- Addition of the new SAMA5D2 PTC EK board
- Use of bounce buffer with SPI on ARM9 SoCs
- fix SMC register offset for SAMA5D2
- fix 10/100 Ethernet macb settings for SAMA5D3 by removing support for scatter-gather
