Erratum PCIE-65 patches no longer compile / apply with current Linux kernels

General Discussion

With so many of you patching your kernel to allow AMD or Intel GPU’s to run, did nobody notice the erratum PCIE-65 patches need updating? They no longer compile on 6.9.0 and do not apply on 6.10-rc1

Looks like you are on your own.

No warranties or support in the formal sense. But we are not on our own here.

The patches have just been fixed in the Github repository.
They have been fixed in such a way, that they now apply and compile on kernel 6.9 and 6.10-rc1, yet still apply and compile on kernels 6.7 and 6.8.
Great work!

It happened again:

I would love to try Xe graphics again when 6.13 is out, but most certainly these patches will still be required.

The good news: This just got fixed! There’s a PR that applies to both kernels 6.12 and 6.13.
The bad news: The patches no longer compile on kernel 6.13.

I am really setting my hopes on kernel 6.13, for getting Intel Xe graphics to work.
There have been many improvements, but quite likely, Xe will still need the PCIE-65 patches.
