This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled pwm: rockchip: Keep enabled PWMs running while probing to the 5.8-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: pwm-rockchip-keep-enabled-pwms-running-while-probing.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0a6286cd9ce2e4dcd40fc904e2472a535f315d16 Author: Simon South <simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Sep 19 15:33:06 2020 -0400 pwm: rockchip: Keep enabled PWMs running while probing [ Upstream commit 457f74abbed060a0395f75ab5297f2d76cada516 ] Following commit cfc4c189bc70 ("pwm: Read initial hardware state at request time") the Rockchip PWM driver can no longer assume a device's pwm_state structure has been populated after a call to pwmchip_add(). Consequently, the test in rockchip_pwm_probe() intended to prevent the driver from stopping PWM devices already enabled by the bootloader no longer functions reliably and this can lead to the kernel hanging during startup, particularly on devices like the Pinebook Pro that use a PWM-controlled backlight for their display. Avoid this by querying the device directly at probe time to determine whether or not it is enabled.
