How to follow Linux kernel development progress related to a specific piece of hardware?
by Unturned3 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5QEZW)
Hello!
I'm currently playing with this system-on-a-chip manufactured by Allwinner called the "V3s". I know there's been lots of progress to get mainline Linux running on the chip, but I'd like to know how exactly can I keep up with the kernel development progress related to this specific piece of hardware. For instance, I'd like to know if someone has written a new device driver to support certain features of the chip, etc.
Is there a website / tool somewhere that allows me to "search" for commits / patches in the Linux kernel that's related to a specific piece of hardware? I tried to look at the kernel change logs but it's cluttered with loads of unrelated changes.
Thanks!
