As a updated kernel revision this branch contains all the enhancements already found on the the Atmel linux-3.18-at91 branch.
Here is a little summary of the enhancements added on top of the official v4.1 Linux kernel tag:
- all Atmel material included in the following 4.2 kernel:
- addition of newer AT91 boards
- AT91SAM9x5: pwm0 pinctrl definition
- SAMA5D4: more peripherals: usarts, uarts, spi, pioD access
- SAMA5D3: phy address for gmac
- regulator additions for the SD/MMC
- rtc node for AT91SAM9RL/AT91SAM9RL-EK
- addition of the new SAMA5D2 SoC and associated SAMA5D2 Xplained board
- DMA: interleaved, memset and scatter-gathered memset offload operations
- flexcom: serial, I2C and SPI: new FIFO and DMA modes for SAMA5D2
- SDHCI driver (SD/MMC) for SAMA5D2
- ClassD audio output driver for SAMA5D2
- Image Sensor:
