This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled Revert "gpio: Revert regression in sysfs-gpio (gpiolib.c)" to the 5.16-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: revert-gpio-revert-regression-in-sysfs-gpio-gpiolib..patch and it can be found in the queue-5.16 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8880b042e17fef14097eded62fad23462a3aed1c Author: Bartosz Golaszewski <brgl@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 15 17:52:05 2022 +0100 Revert "gpio: Revert regression in sysfs-gpio (gpiolib.c)" [ Upstream commit 56e337f2cf1326323844927a04e9dbce9a244835 ] This reverts commit fc328a7d1fcce263db0b046917a66f3aa6e68719. This commit - while attempting to fix a regression - has caused a number of other problems. As the fallout from it is more significant than the initial problem itself, revert it for now before we find a correct solution.
