Feb 1, 2026February 2026 — Qualcomm Linux meta-qcom: Delivered a targeted Iris driver migration to align with future SoCs and enable cross-BU collaboration. The Iris driver was switched to the video.qclinux.main branch, preparing for upcoming SoCs (Hamoa, Kaanapali, Pakala) while preserving support for existing platforms (Kodiak, Lemans, Monaco). This reduces integration friction for Handset/Auto BUs and establishes a path for broader platform enablement. Implemented in commit 979b8aefbf7e45e038b8a04bec5eb855999897c7 with sign-off by Venkata Siva Pavan KumarVenkatapatigari. Business value: streamlined branching strategy, improved maintainability, and readiness for QA/release pipelines across multiple teams.
