July 2025 performance summary for geerlingguy/linux. Focused delivery across PCIe and device tree areas with tangible business value. Key features delivered include a PCIe Endpoint MSI/Doorbell framework enabling LUT/IOMMU configuration, RC-to-EP doorbell communication, inbound BAR alignment, and expanded testing support via new drivers and infrastructure. In parallel, Device Tree Bindings were modernized from textual bindings to YAML, improving maintainability, validation, and schema integration for NVMEM, vf610-ocotp, i.MX23/i.MX28 interrupt controller bindings, Vybrid MSCM Interrupt Router, and AT86RF230/IEEE802154 bindings. Testing coverage was strengthened with added doorbell test cases across pci_endpoint_test and selftests. Overall, these efforts reduce integration risk, accelerate feature delivery on ARM i.MX platforms, and demonstrate strong kernel development, C, PCIe, and YAML skills.
