The patch titled spi: correct bus_num and buffer bug in spi core has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is correct-bus_num-and-buffer-bug-in-spi-core.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: spi: correct bus_num and buffer bug in spi core From: Hans-Christian Egtvedt <hcegtvedt@xxxxxxxxx> Correct the following in driver/spi/spi.c in function spi_busnum_to_master: * must allow bus_num 0, the if is really not needed. * correct the name buffer which is too small for bus_num >= 10000. It should be 9 bytes big, not 8.
