This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled i2c: altera: use proper variable to hold errno to the 5.6-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: i2c-altera-use-proper-variable-to-hold-errno.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b15a63324c85aa8ac011319ca9adaa0afae10317 Author: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Mar 27 23:28:26 2020 +0100 i2c: altera: use proper variable to hold errno commit edb2c9dd3948738ef030c32b948543e84f4d3f81 upstream. device_property_read_u32() returns errno or 0, so we should use the integer variable 'ret' and not the u32 'val' to hold the retval.
