Apologies if this comes off as a lazy question, but after a fair bit of searching I've been unable to find a changelog indicating which device drivers / features were dropped from various versions of the kernel. Does such a changelog exist?
`git log v5.1..v5.2` will show you the whole log, but that's a lot.
I'm specifically trying to narrow down why the PCI devices on a server I have work with 5.8 and don't work with 5.9+. The server is circa 2014, so I suppose there's an off chance support for some component got dropped.
I doubt support for such modern hardware has been dropped in kernel versions like this. Odds are you just forgot to update a configuration option. Try using `git bisect` to track down the offending commit, that will go much faster. good luck! greg k-h
