More Kernel Graphics Driver & Accelerator/NPU Driver Updates Ready For Linux 6.19

([Linux Kernel] 2 Hours Ago drm-misc-next)


Following the [1]initial set of drm-misc-next updates for Linux 6.19 , another round of drm-misc-next updates were sent out today in queuing ahead of that next kernel cycle. There are a number of updates to the smaller DRM graphics/display drivers as well as growing activity around the accelerator "accel" open-source drivers for different NPUs / AI accelerators.

Another week's worth of drm-misc-next material is now on the way to DRM-Next for queuing ahead of the Linux 6.19 merge window coming up in December. This week's highlights include:

- The AMDXDNA accelerator driver for Ryzen AI NPus can now read the last hardware error to occur and expose it to user-space. AMDXDNA also now exposes firmware debug output.

- The Intel IVPU accelerator driver will now automatically reset the engine on more job errors.

- The Qualcomm QAIC accelerator driver added support for DMA-BUF exports, support for the READ_DATA implementation on new firmware, and other changes.

- The Rockchip DRM driver DSI code now supports the RK3368 SoC.

More details for those interested via [2]this pull . There still is another couple weeks to go for additional Direct Rendering Manager pull requests to be queued up in time for the Linux 6.19 cycle.
