This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled platform/x86: acer-wmi: Cleanup accelerometer device handling 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: platform-x86-acer-wmi-cleanup-accelerometer-device-h.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 ad198ce912aef544ba9feb05597b15a88ebee9a2 Author: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Oct 19 20:56:25 2020 +0200 platform/x86: acer-wmi: Cleanup accelerometer device handling [ Upstream commit 9feb0763e4985ccfae632de3bb2f029cc8389842 ] Cleanup accelerometer device handling: -Drop acer_wmi_accel_destroy instead directly call input_unregister_device. -The information tracked by the CAP_ACCEL flag mirrors acer_wmi_accel_dev being NULL. Drop the CAP flag, this is a preparation change for allowing users to override the capability flags. Dropping the flag stops users from causing a NULL pointer dereference by forcing the capability.
