That’s right, we’re talking about Linux kernel 4.9.15 LTS, which comes only three days after the release of the Linux 4.9.14 patch, which shipped with numerous improvements. Linux kernel 4.9.15 LTS is half of the previous update, and, according to the appended shortlog, it changes a total of 82 files, with 690 insertions and 342 deletions. Among the changes included in the Linux 4.9.15 LTS kernel patch, we can notice that about half of more are updated drivers, mostly for GPU drivers like AMDGPU, Intel i915, IMX, and vmwgfx, but also for things like InfiniBand, Bluetooth, ACPI, HV, NVDIMM, s390, PWM, PCI, TTY, and networking ones like Broadcom brcm80211 wireless and Marvell mvpp2 Ethernet.
