This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: dsa: b53: check for timeout to the 4.14-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: net-dsa-b53-check-for-timeout.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0b244d751d551558a6a661a580a007c80799eff4 Author: Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Aug 21 06:56:00 2020 -0700 net: dsa: b53: check for timeout [ Upstream commit 774d977abfd024e6f73484544b9abe5a5cd62de7 ] clang static analysis reports this problem b53_common.c:1583:13: warning: The left expression of the compound assignment is an uninitialized value. The computed value will also be garbage ent.port &= ~BIT(port); ~~~~~~~~ ^ ent is set by a successful call to b53_arl_read(). Unsuccessful calls are caught by an switch statement handling specific returns. b32_arl_read() calls b53_arl_op_wait() which fails with the unhandled -ETIMEDOUT. So add -ETIMEDOUT to the switch statement. Because b53_arl_op_wait() already prints out a message, do not add another one.
