This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled clocksource/drivers/timer-of: Use unique device name instead of timer to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: clocksource-drivers-timer-of-use-unique-device-name-.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b3405cce6460585c9718e3cd67a1e283e7af946e Author: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Oct 16 16:47:45 2019 +0200 clocksource/drivers/timer-of: Use unique device name instead of timer [ Upstream commit 4411464d6f8b5e5759637235a6f2b2a85c2be0f1 ] If a hardware-specific driver does not provide a name, the timer-of core falls back to device_node.name. Due to generic DT node naming policies, that name is almost always "timer", and thus doesn't identify the actual timer used. Fix this by using device_node.full_name instead, which includes the unit addrees.
