This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled pwm: rockchip: Eliminate potential race condition when probing to the 5.10-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-eliminate-potential-race-condition-when.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 18898df13e0c27d3505828c89754f07f0e1fc469 Author: Simon South <simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jan 19 11:12:08 2021 -0500 pwm: rockchip: Eliminate potential race condition when probing [ Upstream commit d21ba5d6217bd5a6a696678385906ed1994b380b ] Commit 48cf973cae33 ("pwm: rockchip: Avoid glitches on already running PWMs") introduced a potential race condition in rockchip_pwm_probe(): A consumer could enable an inactive PWM, or disable a running one, between rockchip_pwm_probe() registering the device via pwmchip_add() and checking whether it is enabled (to determine whether it was started by a bootloader). This could result in a device's PWM clock being either enabled once more than necessary, potentially causing it to continue running when no longer needed, or disabled once more than necessary, producing a warning from the kernel. Eliminate these possibilities by modifying rockchip_pwm_probe() so it checks whether a device is enabled before registering it rather than after.
