FreeBSD Git Weekly 2026-08-31 to 2026-09-06

Hi all,

I'm happy to announce FreeBSD git weekly for 2026-08-31 -- 2026-09-06:
https://freebsd-git-weekly.tarsnap.net/2026-08-31.html

It's a list of the 193 commits in that week, split into categories.
Highlighted commits:

- rtwn: add support for the RTL8723BU
- rc: add a backlight service to save/restore backlight levels
- sys/conf/options: Add WITNESS_LOCK_CHILDCOUNT
- iflib: Plumb per-packet RX hardware timestamps to mbufs
- ifconfig: Add SR-IOV VF status output
- Introduce nfsdtop(8)

"Highlighted" commits are selected automatically if a commit modifies
UPDATING, or if the commit message contains a "Relnotes:" line.  If you
think that another commit should be highlighted, let me know and I'm
happy to make it so.
