I2C MAINTAINER HANDS OFF AFTER 13 YEARS, KERNEL RC8 TIGHTENS BEFORE 7.2

Wolfram Sang is stepping down as I2C maintainer after leading the subsystem since 2010, handing control to Andi Shyti just as the kernel enters its final release candidate cycle with critical fixes across clock drivers and core debugging.

The I2C subsystem is in transition [1]. Wolfram Sang, who has steered the maintainer role for 13 and a half years, is passing the baton to Andi Shyti starting with the 7.2 cycle. The rc8 pull request includes two significant patches alongside routine fixes, marking a formal changing of the guard for one of the kernel's foundational subsystems. Meanwhile, the clock driver team is patching critical regressions [2]. Qualcomm and Google GS101 platforms are getting targeted fixes: a skip on mdp_clk_src parking that was breaking recovery consoles, and a register correction for GS101 resume paths. On the core side, PREEMPT_RT kernels are getting relief from a potential deadlock in debugobjects that could fire during early boot hardirq context [3]. The archinstall project is keeping pace with tooling updates [ref:4, ref:5, ref:6], rolling ruff from 0.15.16 to 0.15.17 across both pre-commit hooks and direct dependencies, plus pushing python-cryptography from 48.0.0 to 48.0.1.

Action items

→ If running PREEMPT_RT, pull the latest rc8 or cherry-pick the debugobjects fix to prevent boot-time deadlocks torvalds/linux [immediate]
→ QCom and GS101 platform maintainers: verify clock driver fixes land before 7.2 final torvalds/linux [plan]
→ Archinstall users: merge ruff and cryptography updates at next maintenance window archlinux/archinstall [monitor]
