With the Linux 3.16 kernel just being a few weeks away from its debut, Intel's Open-Source Technology Center has out another batch of changes being queued up for drm-next to enter with Linux 3.17.

- Cdclk handling improvements for Cherry View and Valley View (Bay Trail) hardware.
- Intel Broadwell "Gen8" hardware semaphore support.
- Continued execlist prep work.
- Locking fixes for primary planes.
- Code rework for supporting run-time power-management for DPMS signaling on Haswell and Broadwell, but the code isn't yet enabled due to some fixes that aren't yet ready for merging.
