* The `inverted` state of the motor `polarity` properties has been changed to
2323
`inversed` to match the mainline kernel PWM drivers.
2424
* The names of the LEDs have been changed. They now look like `ev3-left0:red:ev3dev`.
25+
* The names of UART sensors have changed. Well known sensors now have a more useful names,
26+
namely `lego-ev3-color`, `lego-ev3-gyro`, `lego-ev3-us` and `lego-ev3-ir`. Unknown
27+
UART sensors will have the name `ev3-uart-<type-id>` where `<type-id>` is an unique
28+
identification number sent by the sensor.

Another interesting change is that we have changed the kernel timer frequency
2731
(CONFIG_HZ) from 100Hz to 1000Hz. This may improve some low-latency applications.
