This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ARM: s3c: irq-s3c24xx: Fix return value check for s3c24xx_init_intc() to the 5.4-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: arm-s3c-irq-s3c24xx-fix-return-value-check-for-s3c24.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit fde984f2deb1957b68ee591948acf35bd8f31922 Author: Jackie Liu <liuyun01@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Sep 1 20:35:57 2021 +0800 ARM: s3c: irq-s3c24xx: Fix return value check for s3c24xx_init_intc() [ Upstream commit 2aa717473ce96c93ae43a5dc8c23cedc8ce7dd9f ] The s3c24xx_init_intc() returns an error pointer upon failure, not NULL. let's add an error pointer check in s3c24xx_handle_irq. s3c_intc[0] is not NULL or ERR, we can simplify the code.
