This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iio: adc: ad7887: Fix alignment for DMA safety to the 5.18-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-adc-ad7887-fix-alignment-for-dma-safety.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 86da99d7d2c796864db0505ef8afa01182ffdc07 Author: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun May 8 18:55:57 2022 +0100 iio: adc: ad7887: Fix alignment for DMA safety [ Upstream commit b330ea6bc52468e183ced79189ff064f36c64aa7 ] ____cacheline_aligned is an insufficient guarantee for non-coherent DMA on platforms with 128 byte cachelines above L1. Switch to the updated IIO_DMA_MINALIGN definition. Update the comment to include 'may'. Fixes tag is clearly not where this was introduced but it is very unlikely anyone will back port it past that point.
