They wanted to write more drivers in Rust. They sought the approval of one of the key maintainers of part of the Linux kernel even though their approval wasn't needed. That guy rejected any new Rust code due to personal dislike. Obviously this upset people, and Linus didn't step in to manage the dispute until the drama had blown up.
