Few Apple Silicon Device Tree Updates Submitted Ahead Of Linux 6.16
Sven Peter has mailed out the Device Tree "DT" updates for benefiting Apple Silicon hardware with the upcoming Linux 6.16 merge window.
There isn't too much activity on the Apple Silicon side for Linux 6.16 as it pertains to the Device Tree files. For the Apple M-Series SoCs there is just the additions for the SPMI controller and PMIC NVMEM drivers. These patches were previously carried downstream by Asahi Linux and not working their way upstream with the DT patches being for properly binding them.
Meanwhile for the Apple A-Series SoC support the DT patches for Linux 6.16 are now reporting the CPU cache sizes. The instruction and data cache sizes are now reported for various Apple A-Series SoCs with these DT additions to be found in the Linux 6.16 kernel.
Not a very noteworthy cycle this round for Apple SoC support but those interested can see this pull request for all these pending DT patches.
