    [$] 5.8 Merge window, part 1
    Just over 7,500 non-merge changesets have been pulled into the mainline
    repository since the opening of the 5.8 merge window — not a small amount
    of work for just four days. The early pulls are dominated by the
    networking and graphics trees, but there is a lot of other material in
    there as well. Read on for a summary of what entered the kernel in the
    first part of this development cycle.

    Rosenzweig: Bifrost meets GNOME: Onward & upward to zero graphics blobs
    Alyssa Rosenzweig provides
    an update
    on the Panfrost driver for Mali GPUs on the Collabora blog.
    "In the past 3 months since we began work on Bifrost, fellow
    Collaboran Tomeu Vizoso and I have progressed from stubbing out the new
    compiler and command stream in March to running real programs by
    May. Driven by a reverse-engineering effort in tandem with the free
    software community, we are confident that against proprietary blobs and
    downstream hacks, open-source software will prevail.
    "
