This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled thermal/core: Fix thermal_cooling_device_register() prototype to the 5.14-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: thermal-core-fix-thermal_cooling_device_register-pro.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ffc616437ea26929a4f5ecc73bcf2f4be7d30364 Author: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jul 22 11:06:44 2021 +0200 thermal/core: Fix thermal_cooling_device_register() prototype [ Upstream commit fb83610762dd5927212aa62a468dd3b756b57a88 ] There are two pairs of declarations for thermal_cooling_device_register() and thermal_of_cooling_device_register(), and only one set was changed in a recent patch, so the other one now causes a compile-time warning: drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7915/init.c: In function 'mt7915_thermal_init': drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7915/init.c:134:48: error: passing argument 1 of 'thermal_cooling_device_register' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers] 134 | cdev = thermal_cooling_device_register(wiphy_name(wiphy), phy, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7915/init.c:7: include/linux/thermal.h:407:39: note: expected 'char *' but argument is of type 'const char *' 407 | thermal_cooling_device_register(char *type, void *devdata, | ~~~~~~^~~~ Change the dummy helper functions to have the same arguments as the normal version.
