linux4sam_5.5 tag

Kernel

Enhancements are added on top of the official v4.4 Linux kernel tag. 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 v4.4.x version is merged in our branch. Here is a little summary of the main enhancements:

  • Integration of stable kernel updates up to v4.4.26
  • SAMA5D2: ISC and camera sensors enhancements (ov7740) to be compatible with V4L2
  • SAMA5D2: ADC driver backport from Linux Mainline
  • SAMA5D2: add FIFO configuration for I2C
  • WILC1000 WIFI driver backport from a recent Linux "staging" directory content
  • HDMI on SAMA5D4 Xplained: verified functioning sii902x driver
  • maXTouch driver: stabilize and integrate driver enhancements from atmel-maxtouch github repository
  • fixes: LCD driver vertical scaling, OHCI power consumption, SDHCI non-removable devices handling
