linux4microchip-2025.10 tag

Kernel

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.
  • Improve support for SAMA7D65 Curiosity board.
  • Add initial support for SAMA7D65 Curiosity Pro board.
  • Add switch support for several Ethernet daughter cards on SAM9X75.
  • Add RMII support for SAMA7D65.
  • Add support of Vivante GC520UL GFX2D GPU for SAMA7D65.
  • Add support for New I3C controller in SAMA7D65.
  • Improve Atmel HLCDC DRM driver.
  • ISC: Improve color correction, histogram for post processing.
  • SPI: Add programmable GCLK support.
  • Improve USB PHY disconnection sequence.
  • Enhance high speed modes in SD.
  • Enable MMC_SPI WILC support driver as a module.
  • Improve ClassD audio module.
  • Several other trivial fixes.
