This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled pwm: spear: Don't modify HW state in .remove callback to the 5.13-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-spear-don-t-modify-hw-state-in-.remove-callback.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.13 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b799b3bc6f3b544af48294b0e76e0f8439c9dc30 Author: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Apr 28 11:05:24 2021 +0200 pwm: spear: Don't modify HW state in .remove callback [ Upstream commit b601a18f12383001e7a8da238de7ca1559ebc450 ] A consumer is expected to disable a PWM before calling pwm_put(). And if they didn't there is hopefully a good reason (or the consumer needs fixing). Also if disabling an enabled PWM was the right thing to do, this should better be done in the framework instead of in each low level driver. So drop the hardware modification from the .remove() callback.
