If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b9bdd9ed535f81bc8094504a42e8a0791df72c5d Author: Sergey Shtylyov <s.shtylyov@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Apr 10 23:25:10 2021 +0300 i2c: sh7760: add IRQ check [ Upstream commit e5b2e3e742015dd2aa6bc7bcef2cb59b2de1221c ] The driver neglects to check the result of platform_get_irq()'s call and blithely passes the negative error codes to devm_request_irq() (which takes *unsigned* IRQ #), causing it to fail with -EINVAL, overriding an original error code. Stop calling devm_request_irq() with invalid IRQ #s.
