[REFERENCE] ELS - OSRC (S918B-5.15.41)

[farovitus]

Project: Exynos-Linux-Stable​

- Exynos-Linux-Stable is an organisation on GitLab & GitHub containing upstreamed linux for some of the latest flagship handset from SAMSUNG like the S7, S7E, S8, S8+, Note 8, S9, S9+, Note 9 and the S23 Ultra (SNAPDRAGON) kernel upstreamed to be inline with respective linux branches.

What does this bring?
- All of the devices mentioned above uses Long Term Support (LTS) releases, they are like old softwares.
- LTS releases are supported through their specified support duration by security updates, bug fixes, backports, and new device drivers, just like a regular release.
So updating or up-streaming your device's kernel brings many improvements talking security, performance wise etc...

How do I use?

If you are a developer, the reference tree is located in the exynos-linux-stable organization: https://github.com/exynos-linux-stable

This can either be merged into your existing kernel tree if you have one or be used as a fresh base. You do not need my permission to use it nor do you need to give me credit (although it would be appreciated).

If you are a user, ask your kernel developer KINDLY to use this source for his kernel that has all the changes added in!

Seeing as none of the S23 series phone are Exynos...I'm going to call "Wrong forum".

I concur. I'll go ahead and send this to the Note 9 forum, since that's mentioned on @farovitus's list as the newest supported device.

Organization name is and will remain exynos-linux-stable "ELS" but the source is ofc as mentioned stock OSRC for S918B.

I've gone ahead and moved this to the S23 Ultra section, at the poster's request, since this is what is mentioned on @farovitus's list as the newest supported device.
