Linux 6.3 has been released yesterday, right on schedule. As usual, see the LWN.net articles that covered the 6.3 merge window (part 1 and part 2) as well as the KernelNewbies page.
For this release, Bootlin engineers contributed a total of 66 commits, with the following highlights:
- Alexandre Belloni, as the RTC subsystem maintainer, contributed a number of patches to RTC drivers: add support for ACPI-based probing to two RTC drivers, convert a number of RTC drivers to use the fwnode API to retrieve IRQ flags
- Alexis Lothoré contributed a fix for a regression in the FPGA subsystem
- Clément Léger contributed a fix for a reference count issue found while testing Device Tree overlays and also contributed a minor cleanup to the pcs-rzn1-miic he contributed sometime ago.
- Hervé Codina contributed a full new driver to support the USB Device controller found in Renesas RZ/N1 processors: renesas_usbf, together with the corresponding Device Tree binding description, Device Tree files updates, as well as an update to the Renesas clock driver
- Hervé Codina also contributed two new audio codec drivers: one for the Renesas IDT821034 codec and one for the Infineon PEB2466 codec
- Miquèl Raynal contributed a significant number of updates to the IEEE 802.15.4 stack of the Linux kernel, most notably implementing passive scanning support as well as beaconing support.
- Paul Kocialkowski contributed a number of fixes for the Allwinner sun6i-csi camera interface driver, the Allwinner MIPI CSI2 bridge driver as well as the Allwinner sun6i-isp ISP driver, following previous contributions he made on all those multimedia drivers
