MediaTek Upstreaming - From Bring-up to Test Coverage

Explore the challenges and solutions in upstreaming Linux kernel code for new MediaTek SoCs in this informative conference talk. Discover the complexities of writing compliant code that meets upstream quality standards while avoiding regressions on supported hardware. Learn about real-life examples of upstreaming multiple Chromebooks and a smartphone with MediaTek SoCs, including the use of scripts, tools, and KernelCI integration. Gain insights into catching bugs, saving development time, and running ARM64 Chromebooks on the latest linux-next kernels with various operating systems. Understand the importance of efficient testing and development workflows in kernel engineering to overcome the preference for downstream kernels.
