I’m more curious about what they contributed rather than how many lines. The article doesn’t seem to take this into account. If they’re just contributing a bunch of drivers for their own hardware I don’t see how it’s “good for Linux”. The article makes it sound like Hauwei is running kennel development.

It is worth noting that Huawei has been caught submiting useless code to the kernel, to boost their numbers.
