A New Year's Eve pull request is ready with several Intel/AMD laptop improvements for the ongoing Linux 6.19 kernel cycle. An x86 platform drivers pull request sent to Linus Torvalds today brings several notable driver enhancements with expanding the range of supported laptops.

First up the Alienware WMI WMAX driver has added support for the Area-51, x16, and 16X Aurora laptops. This Alienware Linux driver allows platform profile support on Linux, thermal controls, and other functionality. Now if you use any of the Dell-Alienware Area-51, x16, or 16X Aurora laptop models they should now be working with this driver too thanks to new device ID additions. Also on the Dell side, the dell-lis3lv02d driver adds Latitude 5400 support.
