The Staging Pull Goes In For Linux 3.7 Kernel
Posted by Michael Larabel on October 02, 2012
Greg Kroah-Hartman has already sent in the Linux kernel staging driver changes for the Linux 3.7 kernel.
There's 662 source files changed this time around and more code was added then removed. Highlights for the Linux 3.7 kernel staging area include continued work on xgifb (the frame-buffer driver for XGI graphics cards), minor work and clean-ups on various Android components, Ramster is still being touched, a new Silicom Bypass driver, lots of work on the Comedi Linux driver, work on Ipack, lots of IIO activity, and various other work scattered throughout the kernel's staging area.
One prominent new driver that may be of interest to the graphics-craving Phoronix readers is that the i.MX DRM graphics driver has been merged into staging.
More details on the staging changes for Linux 3.7 can be found via Greg's pull request, which Linus has already pulled into his tree.
