Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker. I noticed a regression report in bugzilla.kernel.org that afaics nobody acted upon since it was reported about a week ago, that's why I decided to forward it to the lists and all people that seemed to be relevant here. To quote from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215726 : > I get the following error messages when trying to use si2157.ko in linux 5.17: > si2157 13-0060: found a 'Silicon Labs Si2157-A30 ROM 0x50' > si2157 13-0060: Can't continue without a firmware > I did work in linux 5.16.16 without a firmware file. Unfortunately the driver does not tell me the name of the missing firmware file. Could somebody take a look into this? Or was this discussed somewhere else already? Or even fixed? Anyway, to get this tracked: #regzbot introduced: v5.16..v5.17 #regzbot from: az0123456@xxxxxx <az0123456@xxxxxx> #regzbot title: media: si2157.c: mention name of the missing firmware file #regzbot link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215726 Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat) P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I'm getting a lot of reports on my table. I can only look briefly into most of them and lack knowledge about most of the areas they concern. I thus unfortunately will sometimes get things wrong or miss something important. I hope that's not the case here; if you think it is, don't hesitate to tell me in a public reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record straight. -- Additional information about regzbot: If you want to know more about regzbot, check out its web-interface, the getting start guide, and the references documentation: https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/regzbot/ https://gitlab.com/knurd42/regzbot/-/blob/main/docs/getting_started.md https://gitlab.com/knurd42/regzbot/-/blob/main/docs/reference.md The last two documents will explain how you can interact with regzbot yourself if your want to. Hint for reporters: when reporting a regression it's in your interest to CC the regression list and tell regzbot about the issue, as that ensures the regression makes it onto the radar of the Linux kernel's regression tracker -- that's in your interest, as it ensures your report won't fall through the cracks unnoticed. Hint for developers: you normally don't need to care about regzbot once it's involved. Fix the issue as you normally would, just remember to include 'Link:' tag in the patch descriptions pointing to all reports about the issue. This has been expected from developers even before regzbot showed up for reasons explained in 'Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst' and 'Documentation/process/5.Posting.rst'.
