Phoronix: Improved Sound Open Firmware On The Way For Valve's Steam Deck OLED

Earlier Phoronix reporting on the "Valve Galileo" as a new Steam Deck device proved accurate and that is the new Steam Deck OLED gaming console. Further improving the upstream Linux kernel support is a set of patches to further refine the Sound Open Firmware (SOF) support for this new platform...

I wonder how does the Windows NT kernel fare in comparison to the Linux kernel regarding such regressions. It seems regressions like these are becoming more and more common. Now the most reliable filesystem on Linux isn't immune as well..

Edit: Also, notice this comment :

Indeed, why was it picked up from 6.5-rc1 (a test kernel!) and backported to stable kernels? Why would any commit be picked up from rc1 through to rc8 etc? It's basic risk management not to do that

I mean, this is insanity. Whoever did that needs to be fired. Now this ended up in 6.1 LTS, so it affects Debian Stable.

Well NT is so irrelevant by now with its 260 MAX_PATH limitation, I doubt anyone cares about its obfuscated bugs anymore, nobody ever uses it for anything serious.

At least in IT.

You can increase the limit. E.g. GIT installer offers that with one click.
