Merged last night for the Linux 6.19 kernel merge window were all of the USB and Thunderbolt driver changes. Standing out this cycle is Apple Silicon devices like the M1 Macs now having working USB3 support on the mainline Linux kernel.

There has been USB3 support in the downstream Asahi Linux project for a while but only now with the mainline Linux 6.19 kernel are the necessary patches in place for enabling USB3 support on these modern Apple Silicon devices... Sans the M3 and M4 Macs that are still being reverse engineered and worked on by the remaining Asahi Linux developers.
