Other changes are:
Improvements to Intel ‘Skylake’ platform
Intel Quark SoC support
Various patches to improve Linux running on a Playstation 3
TOpen-source AMD Radeon driver supports DisplayPort Audio
Various misc HID driver tweaks, including Lenovo compact keyboards, Wacom Cintiq 27QHD

File System tweaks, including F2FS, BtrfFS, etc
