The PCI subsystem updates for the in-development Linux 5.17 kernel have been submitted to Linus.

The PCI/PCIe subsystem updates for Linux 5.17 aren't particularly exciting but do have a few changes worth pointing out:

- Clock gating is now enabled for the Apple PCIe controller driver for saving power on Apple Silicon hardware.

- i.MX8MM support is added to the Freescale i.MX PCIe controller driver.

- Intel Raptor Lake support has been added to the Intel VMD host bridge driver.

- Microsoft's Hyper-V host bridge driver has added 64-bit ARM (ARM64/AArch64) Hyper-V virtual PCI support.
