Hi,

I am running 3.4.39 on an arm platform which I cannot easily upgrade to a newer kernel.

I would like like to test an experimental driver for the nfc chipset pn532 which is written against 3.12

Unfortunately the chipset is different enough from pn533 that it needs it's own driver.

Is there a backport of 3.12 nfc codebase to 3.4.39 available somewhere?

Hi,

The version number in backports releases indicates from which kernel version the code is *from*. backports-3.12, 3.13, ... all contain the nfc code you need.
