Patchset for TUXEDO devices

[Werner Sembach]

SRU Justification:

Impact: This is a patchset that we (TUXEDO Computers) currently apply on top of the Ubuntu 6.8 kernel to make it run smoothly on all our devices. All patches apply smoothly to 6.8.
Fix: These are all patches already upstream, just not on the 6.8 branch, because they where upstreamed after that one was already EOL.
Testcase: We run this patchset for all our customers devices (we basically maintain our own OEM branch) so it is quite field testet. Besides that, whenever a new patch was added we did regression testing on a selection of devices.

Hello Werner, thank you for sharing these and for helping to improve Ubuntu. I have sent a note to our extended team to ask about including these. I'll follow up once I have a response.

Best,
Tim

[Tim Whisonant (tswhison)]

Some early feedback I received: we would like to know more of the details of the patches and the hardware they support.

Please refer to our patch submission guidelines found at

https://canonical-kernel-docs.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/reference/stable-patch-format/

[Werner Sembach (wsembach)]

Thanks for the link (I only found a ubuntu wiki entry that probably is a little outdated if that one is the current guidline?).

Should I resend the patch? I saw that I messed up the subject line a bit.

For the explanations (in the same order as the links above):

wifi: ath12k: add fallback board name without variant while searching board-2.bin
wifi: ath12k: remove unused ATH12K_BD_IE_BOARD_EXT
wifi: ath12k: add support to search regdb data in board-2.bin for WCN7850
wifi: ath12k: support default regdb while searching board-2.bin for WCN7850

Are part of a larger patchset to enable support for the ath12k wifi chipset that iirc we currently use in our intel desktop pcs. The rest of that patchset already got included in the Ubuntu 6.8 kernel. TBH I never looked into the patches individually, maybe you can give some insights?

ACPI: resource: Use IRQ override on Maibenben X565

is basically just here so that

ACPI: resource: Do IRQ override on TongFang GXxHRXx and GMxHGxx

doesn't cause a merge conflict. The 2nd patch is for the TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro Gen9 AMD and TUXEDO Stellaris Slim Gen1 AMD keyboard to work. It is a quirk that some AMD notebook need, because of a potential BIOS bug.

ALSA: hda/realtek: Fix headset mic on TUXEDO Gemini 17 Gen3

Qurik for the microphone to work in the built in audio jack

ALSA: hda/realtek: Fix headset mic on TUXEDO Stellaris 16 Gen6 mb1

Qurik for the microphone to work in the built in audio jack

PCI: Avoid putting some root ports into D3 on TUXEDO Sirius Gen1

Fixes a no resume bug on unupdated BIOS on the TUXEDO Sirius Gen1

nvme-pci: Add TUXEDO InfinityFlex to Samsung sleep quirk

Quirk to make the device sleep better

nvme-pci: Add TUXEDO IBP Gen9 to Samsung sleep quirk

Quirk to make the device sleep better

To summarise: ath12k wifi chip support and a lot of single device quirks with the respective device in the patches subject line

[Werner Sembach (wsembach)]

I just saw, I also sent the patches to the mailing list, but the don't seem to have reched it: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2025-February/thread.html

Did I run in some spam filter? Or do i need to subscribe first before I can post to it?

[Tim Whisonant (tswhison)]

Hi Werner, I think it could be that you need to subscribe first.

Could you try that and then re-submit them to <email address hidden>

Please include the descriptions you added above to the content of your SRU submission to the mailing list.

Thank you!
Tim

[Werner Sembach (wsembach)]

Done, just messed up the git-sent-email (forgot to disable the tocmd ...).

[Werner Sembach (wsembach)]

Done² hopefully this time in the correct format: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2025-February/157179.html

[Werner Sembach (wsembach)]

ps the sru v3 patchset is now directly cherry-picked from the torvalds branch and not anymore from the stable branches

Released in 6.8.0-58.60! Thanks again for your suggestion to improve Ubuntu.

[Ubuntu Kernel Bot (ubuntu-kernel-bot)]

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux/6.8.0-58.60 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-noble-linux' to 'verification-done-noble-linux'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-noble-linux' to 'verification-failed-noble-linux'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.
