Intel Gaudi 3 Driver Support Already Rejected For Linux 6.19 (www.phoronix.com)

Last night Intel finally posted their Gaudi 3 accelerator open-source driver support for the mainline Linux kernel with hopes of getting that long-delayed AI accelerator support into the in-development Linux 6.19 kernel. But as I pointed out, the pull request was coming unusually late for being such a large set of patches and would face an uphill battle to make it for the Linux 6.19 merge window. Sure enough, the pull request was already rejected and withdrawn from being v6.19 material.

Overnight the Intel Gaudi 3 ambitions for Linux 6.19 already ended just hours after the code finally appeared in a pull request. Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) lead maintainer David Airlie of Red Hat who also oversees the accelerator "accel" area commented that the pull request was late. But beyond being late, in his preliminary look at the new code he also found "a few messy bits on initial review."

This goes way back. Intel has a proud tradition of writing shitty NPU Linux drivers and hoping to sneak it in. My lshw has only the Intel NPU as not having loaded a module successfully.
