Linux Kernel Patches Posted For Enabling USB3 Support On Apple M1 / M2


In addition to this week seeing Apple SoC DT updates prepped for Linux 6.18 and Apple laptop lid events and power button driver patches posted for review for the mainline Linux kernel, published today on the Linux kernel mailing list are the request for comments (RFC) on patches for enabling USB3 support with Apple Silicon M1 / M2 SoCs.

Sven's cover letter on the kernel patch series is rather interesting in noting several caveats and issues with Apple's USB3 support: In order to test this you need to run the latest m1n1 master because the 1.5.0 release does not include the code that lifts the tunables from Apple's device tree. If the overall approach here is fine and no one can think of a better way to support this SoC I'll drop the RFC and include the dts changes for the other M1 and M2 machines as well."
