Linux 6.18 Sees Late Improvements For Xbox Ally, Lenovo Legion Go, & Alienware Laptops (www.phoronix.com)

We're closing in on the Linux 6.18 stable kernel release likely in little more than one week (30 November barring any delays) and today's batch of x86 platform driver updates is bringing some new hardware support as well as some notable consumer device fixes/improvements.

The x86 platform driver co-maintainer Ilpo Järvinen of Intel sent out today's batch of "fixes" material for the Linux 6.18 cycle.

New hardware support in this pull includes adding support for the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally gaming handheld to the AMD PMC driver for the platform management controller. This was motivated for adding the "spurious_8042" quirk for dealing with spurious interrupts during resume on this Windows-focused gaming handheld.
