Hey all,
It is release day and here is v2021.10. With this release we are now at the third of our 2 years past a number of DM migration deadlines. We're now at the point where it's watchdog related migrations that are past due. This is actually a small list of boards and I think can be quickly resolved. At this point, between what has been removed for this release and what's queued up already in -next, we've made good progress on clearing out legacy platforms.
What I would like to call attention to in general is the number of CONFIG symbols that need to be migrated to Kconfig still. If you maintain a board or SoC, please check for symbols specific to your area of code that aren't migrated yet and see how to move them. The tools/moveconfig.py tool can handle a lot of cases. If it's tricky please reach out.
In terms of a changelog, git log --merges v2021.10-rc4..v2021.10-rc5 contains what I've pulled since the last RC or: git log --merges v2021.07..v2021.10 for changes since the last full release. As always, more details in pull requests (or the tags referenced by them) will result in more details here.
With this, the merge window is now open and I'll be merging in the next branch shortly. v2022.01 is scheduled for release on Monday, January 10th 2022 and the merge window closes on October 25th. Thanks all!
