The Big Staging Pull Request Submitted With 44k Lines Of New Code, 16k Deletions
Greg Kroah-Hartman sent out the staging updates today and some of the work includes:
- Continued work on the VirtualBox DRM/KMS driver. That VirtualBox work includes transitioning to the atomic mode-setting API and now places this driver quite close to graduating out of staging and being accepted in mainline DRM.
- Fixes to the new EROFS read-only file-system that was merged in Linux 4.19. EROFS might end up being used by some Android devices in the future.
- A lot of Comedi device driver work and Greg commented that he hopes one day this driver will be ready to graduate out of staging.
- The GASKET driver framework developed by Google and merged last cycle for allowing thin kernel drivers and shifting most of the driver work to user-space has also been updated and continued receiving fixes.
- A lot of work as well to the wilc1000, rtl8192u, and rtl8188eu drivers.
