Kernel

Enhancements are added on top of the official v4.14 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 v4.14.x version is merged in our branch.

Here is a little summary of the main additional enhancements:

• Integration of stable kernel updates up to v4.14.73
• Support for PDA 5" screen as the default display
• Added video decoder driver for SAMA5D4
• Added multidrop support for serial controllers
• Added ISO 7816 driver
• Ethernet - retrieve MAC address from provided NVMEM
• Ethernet hardware RX queues , RX hardware filtering, queue statistics
• PHY-handle device tree support
• Ethernet padding and FCS enhancement
• Ethernet re-factor power management suspend/resume
• Power management support for backup and self-refresh: QSPI, FLEXCOM, TCB-PWM, programmable clocks.
• Updated SPI-NOR non uniform erase support
• Added USART SPI driver
• ADC DMA support on SAMA5D2
• ADC resistive touch screen support for SAMA5D2
• Mikroelectronika audio codec board driver
• Rework I2S clock driver on SAMA5D2
• fixes: Ethernet TX DMA descriptors processing, shutdown controller register corruption while shutting down.
