Linus Torvalds has released the 6.5-rc7 kernel
prepatch, which looks to be the final release candidate before the likely
release of Linux 6.5 next Sunday. Torvalds released it a little earlier
than usual due to some travel; overall things look to be in good shape:

But apart from the timezone difference, everything looks entirely
normal. Drivers (GPU, networking and sound dominate – the usual
suspects, in other words) and architecture fixes. The latter are
mostly arm devicetree fixlets, but also some x86 cleanups and fallout
from the embargo last week.

Not a huge amount of patches, and I really get the feeling that a lot
of maintainers are on vacation. But I will be optimistic and also
blame it all being quiet on things working fairly well.
