Hi,

this week in other news:

- a few general LinuxKPI changes (some comitted some outstanding)

- finished updating all drivers to Linux v5.8 (incl. LinuxkPI
   adjustments)

- resumed talks about vendor imports

- exchanged emails with re@ in order to figure out how to efficiently
   do rebuilds so I can finally add firmware to the install media and
   test that.
   (this will allow us to purely distribute firmware from ports)

- checked Intel cards in dedicated M.2 slots on an arm64 board and they
   showed the same problems as in my large test setup (see last week's
   email); so I know it is not related to that and will need
   investigation.

- tried hrs' xHCI debug in the hpoe that we could get console on a
   modern Laptop without serial;  managed to establish a connection from
   his binary-only loader component while testing with three laptops;
   screwed up one of my development laptops in the same go (almost recvered;
   I am still short a XHCI Root Hub which makes it painful to use currently).
   It is unclear how much effort is needed in order to make this useful.
   I'll keep plotting in the background but it likely won't be in time to
   debug suspend/resume for 14.1-R anymore :(

- I am hoping to push the driver updates to github as soon as the
   general LinuxKPI changes are sorted.

- PR handling and various direct emails and some packet loss (sorry).

Lots of health,
Bjoern
