Reading time:
Earlier this week, Linux Kernel 5.1 was made available, and with it came over 13,000 commits from developers all around the world, including some Collaborans. This time around, no less than twelve different developers contributed commits (64), sign-offs (111), bug reports and testing to this latest release. If you would like to read more about the merge window for 5.1, head to LWN.net (part 1 & part 2). Now let's take a closer look at Collabora's contributions!
First and foremost, Helen Koike contributed a major change, providing a mechanism to mount a mapped device at boot time through a kernel command line parameter, removing the current initramfs requirement. This change is one of the highlights of the 5.1 release, and is the result of the combined effort of both Google and Collabora engineers to push upstream a feature that is shipped on Chrome OS devices and Android devices using AVB 2.0.
On this release, we've worked on multiple fronts on SoC hardware enablement.
