To be sure the issue doesn't fall through the cracks unnoticed, I'm adding it to regzbot, the Linux kernel regression tracking bot: #regzbot ^introduced 4d8ff6b0991d5e86b17b235fc46ec62e9195cb9 #regzbot title spi: qemu emulations quanta-q71l-bmc and almetto-bmc fail to boot #regzbot ignore-activity This isn't a regression? This issue or a fix for it are already discussed somewhere else? It was fixed already? You want to clarify when the regression started to happen? Or point out I got the title or something else totally wrong? Then just reply and tell me -- ideally while also telling regzbot about it, as explained by the page listed in the footer of this mail. Developers: When fixing the issue, remember to add 'Link:' tags pointing to the report (the parent of this mail). See page linked in footer for details. Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat) -- Everything you wanna know about Linux kernel regression tracking: https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/about/#tldr That page also explains what to do if mails like this annoy you.
