Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for qualcomm-linux/meta-qcom: Delivered a critical KGSL-related bug fix by aligning the KGSL driver with the latest upstream commit, addressing RGMU flag checks, preventing sign extension on alignments, and stabilizing command submission threading. Also initialized min_render_pwrlevel in the standard device tree. Result: improved graphics subsystem stability, reduced out-of-bounds and sign-extension risks, and smoother rendering under typical workloads. Demonstrates strong kernel driver debugging, cross-repo integration, and rigorous change validation.
