linux4microchip-2025.10 tag

Enhancements are added on top of the official v6.12 Linux kernel tag where most of the Microchip SoC features are already supported. Note as well that we re-integrate each and every stable kernel release on top of this Long Term Support (LTS) kernel revision. This means that each v6.12.x version is merged in our branch.

Here is a little summary of the main additional enhancements:

  • Integration of stable Long Term Support (LTS) kernel updates up to v6.12.48
  • Add initial support for SAMA7D65 Curiosity Pro board.
  • Add WPA3 support for WILC3000, unified WILC S02 device support, FW 16.5 WIFi / BLE driver.
  • Add support for DRM atomic operations.
  • Enhanced DRM/HLCDC, LVDS, and DSI controller support for SAMA7D65 and SAM9X7.
  • Fix UART and SPI FIFO size for SAMA5D2, SAMA7G5 and SAMA7D65.
  • Use  CLASSD conservative timings for SAMA5D2, SAM9x60 and SAM9x75.
  • Use GPIO to detect SD Card presence instead of polling for SAMA7D65 Curiosity.
  • Support for powering off the SD Card on SAMA7D6.
  • Add aliases for SDMMC in boards device trees.
  • Implement SDMMC tunning errata for SAMA5D2 and SAMA7D6
  • Add support for pin polarity for GPIOs used as ULP1 wake up sources.
  • Add support for SPI controller to use the optional GCLK as clock source.
  • Add I3C driver for SAMA7D65 and LSM6DSx sensor.
  • Improve ISC driver by exporting histogram statistics to users pace, add hue and saturation as v4l2 controls and improve Grey World AWB.
  • Implement USB device disconnect PHY workaround.
  • Add external REFCLK support in MACB for RMII / RGMII PHYs. Enable RMII support for SAMA7 GMAC.

  • Add initial support for GFX2D GPU
  • Add support for ASRC peripheral to peripheral for SAMA7G65
  • Enable WM8731 audio codec as a module.
  • Add shutdown controller support for SAM9X7 SoC.
  • Improve SoC driver with support for SAMA7D65.
  • Crypto: add fallback for unsupported ESP header length (not multiple of 4 words).
  • Clock: configure ACR register in all PLL settings. Update clock API usage for SAMA7G5 and SAMA7D65.
  • OP-TEE: Update SCMI for SAMA7G5 to include GCLK for PDMC0 and PDMC1.
  • QSPI: add support for SAMA7D65
  • Added support for PAC194X and PAC195X Current and Power Monitors
  • Added support for LAN9646 and updated support for LAN937X, KSZ9896, KSZ9477 gigabit Ethernet switches
