This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iio: accel: mma8452: use the correct logic to get mma8452_data to the 5.15-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: iio-accel-mma8452-use-the-correct-logic-to-get-mma84.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8a2644dc664f70c88f6c8bfe81136d3d180fa05e Author: Haibo Chen <haibo.chen@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue Feb 22 10:42:21 2022 +0800 iio: accel: mma8452: use the correct logic to get mma8452_data [ Upstream commit c87b7b12f48db86ac9909894f4dc0107d7df6375 ] The original logic to get mma8452_data is wrong, the *dev point to the device belong to iio_dev. we can't use this dev to find the correct i2c_client. The original logic happen to work because it finally use dev->driver_data to get iio_dev. Here use the API to_i2c_client() is wrong and make reader confuse. To correct the logic, it should be like this struct mma8452_data *data = iio_priv(dev_get_drvdata(dev)); But after commit 8b7651f25962 ("iio: iio_device_alloc(): Remove unnecessary self drvdata"), the upper logic also can't work. When try to show the avialable scale in userspace, will meet kernel dump, kernel handle NULL pointer dereference. So use dev_to_iio_dev() to correct the logic. Dual fixes tags as the second reflects when the bug was exposed, whilst the first reflects when the original bug was introduced.
