Linux 3.18 was released this week and like in previous kernel releases, it contains contributions made by Collabora engineers as a part of the projects involving the Linux kernel.

In total 45 patches were contributed to the 3.18 release. These were for:

• Cleanups for the Intel i915 DRM driver
• Various cleanups for the max77686 clock, rtc and regulator drivers.
• Adding max77802 clock, rtc and regulator drivers.
• Fixing regmap DT endianess parsing logic.
• Improving the power model in the Exynos5 Peach Pit and Pi Chromebooks DT.
• Using the regulator_get_voltage() function to get the mmc OCR mask.
• Adding max77802 PMIC, ISL29018 sensor and atmel touchpad for Peach boards DT.
• Setting the correct clock rate for i2c7 in Exynos5 Peach Pit and Pi DT.
• Enable atmel touchpad, cgroups, sbs battery and atmel touchpad in exynos defconfig.
• Fixing variable initialization for different regulator drivers.
• Fixing MFC v5 support in the s5p-mfc driver.
• Making module autoloading to work for i2c cros-ec-tunnel and cros_ec_keyb drivers.
• Explicitly configure USB dual role mode as host for Exynos boards.
• Adding a PM_QOS_MEMORY_BANDWIDTH pm_qos class.
• Enabling gcov-based kernel profiling for ARM
