This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: stmmac: allow a tc-taprio base-time of zero 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: net-stmmac-allow-a-tc-taprio-base-time-of-zero.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 bdef5b614044188127351278aced7a99a4ad56b8 Author: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 8 22:28:54 2021 +0200 net: stmmac: allow a tc-taprio base-time of zero [ Upstream commit f64ab8e4f368f48afb08ae91928e103d17b235e9 ] Commit fe28c53ed71d ("net: stmmac: fix taprio configuration when base_time is in the past") allowed some base time values in the past, but apparently not all, the base-time value of 0 (Jan 1st 1970) is still explicitly denied by the driver. Remove the bogus check.
