[…]Is that something that has to go over the Canonical Kernel Tree or doesDebian also carry such backports separately?
Hi Paul,The Canonical kernel team follows the stable upstream acceptance rules¹, thus backporting this new driver² would have to be carry by the Debian kernel maintainers.
By the way, I think severity 'wishlist' would have been more appropriate.
Thanks, Paul
