</div>That would need to be accepted upstream by the alsa project, and then<br>
distros will automatically get the changes when they are part of a<br>
release.<br>

</div>That would be just a packaging procedure. In the case of Fedora it<br>
would be just the arch dependant rpms as opposed to using a activity<br>
.xo file which I believe are arch independent. Unless I've missed<br>
something here.<br>

</div>In fedora at least from a driver perspective it would land in Fedora<br>
as soon as the upstream kernel has the drivers. I'm not sure whether<br>
there is a defined api for accessing those sort sensors on linux. If<br>
there was I would presume as the hardware is added that TA/measure<br>
would automatically get support for the hardware as its added, if<br>
there's not I presume there would need to be individual support added<br>
for each device.<br>
