This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled soc: imx: Register SoC device only on i.MX boards 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: soc-imx-register-soc-device-only-on-i.mx-boards.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 3b40bf76152b050f80dfd556c355d9288dfdac29 Author: Stephan Gerhold <stephan@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Dec 6 12:38:28 2021 +0100 soc: imx: Register SoC device only on i.MX boards [ Upstream commit 4ebd29f91629e69da7d57390cdc953772eee03ab ] At the moment, using the ARM32 multi_v7_defconfig always results in two SoCs being exposed in sysfs. This is wrong, as far as I'm aware the Qualcomm DragonBoard 410c does not actually make use of a i.MX SoC. :) qcom-db410c:/sys/devices/soc0$ grep . * family:Freescale i.MX machine:Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. APQ 8016 SBC revision:0.0 serial_number:0000000000000000 soc_id:Unknown qcom-db410c:/sys/devices/soc1$ grep . * family:Snapdragon machine:APQ8016 ... This happens because imx_soc_device_init() registers the soc device unconditionally, even when running on devices that do not make use of i.MX. Arnd already reported this more than a year ago and even suggested a fix similar to this commit, but for some reason it was never submitted. Fix it by checking if the "__mxc_cpu_type" variable was actually initialized by earlier platform code. On devices without i.MX it will simply stay 0.
