This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled hwmon: (ltc2947) Properly handle errors when looking for the external clock 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: hwmon-ltc2947-properly-handle-errors-when-looking-fo.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 b4ceafe17e74eadec2f5f5295621a7eccdb141d3 Author: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Sep 23 22:11:13 2021 +0200 hwmon: (ltc2947) Properly handle errors when looking for the external clock [ Upstream commit 6f7d70467121f790b36af2d84bc02b5c236bf5e6 ] The return value of devm_clk_get should in general be propagated to upper layer. In this case the clk is optional, use the appropriate wrapper instead of interpreting all errors as "The optional clk is not available".
