Here is the big set of USB and Thunderbolt changes for 6.16-rc1.
Included in here are the following:
- USB offload support for audio devices. I think this takes the
record for the most number of patch series (30+) over the longest
period of time (2+ years) to get merged properly. Many props go to
Wesley Cheng for seeing this effort through, they took a major
out-of-tree hacked-up-monstrosity that was created by multiple
vendors for their specific devices, got it all merged into a
semi-coherent set of changes, and got all of the different major
subsystems to agree on how this should be implemented both with
changes to their code as well as userspace apis, AND wrangled the
hardware companies into agreeing to go forward with this, despite
making them all redo work they had already done in their private
device trees. This feature offers major power savings on embedded
devices where a USB audio stream can continue to flow while the rest
of the system is sleeping, something that devices running on battery
power really care about. There are still some more small tweaks
left to be done here, and those patches are still out for review and
arguing among the different hardware companies, but this is a major
step forward and a great example of how to do upstream development
well.
- small number of thunderbolt fixes and updates, things seem to be
slowing down here (famous last words...)
- xhci refactors and reworking to try to handle some rough corner
cases in some hardware implementations where things don't always
work properly
- typec driver updates
- USB3 power management reworking and updates
- Removal of some old and orphaned UDC gadget drivers that had not
been used in a very long time, dropping over 11 thousand lines from
the tree, always a nice thing, making up for the 12k lines added for
the USB offload feature.
- lots of little updates and fixes in different drivers
All of these have been in linux-next for over 2 weeks, the USB offload
logic has been in there for 8 weeks now, with no reported issues
