This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dmaengine: mxs: use platform_driver_register 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: dmaengine-mxs-use-platform_driver_register.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 4a0f6b816ed3c2c75d8e78027b0fc26f93ebae8a Author: Dario Binacchi <dario.binacchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Sep 21 19:05:56 2022 +0200 dmaengine: mxs: use platform_driver_register [ Upstream commit 26696d4657167112a1079f86cba1739765c1360e ] Driver registration fails on SOC imx8mn as its supplier, the clock control module, is probed later than subsys initcall level. This driver uses platform_driver_probe which is not compatible with deferred probing and won't be probed again later if probe function fails due to clock not being available at that time. This patch replaces the use of platform_driver_probe with platform_driver_register which will allow probing the driver later again when the clock control module will be available. The __init annotation has been dropped because it is not compatible with deferred probing. The code is not executed once and its memory cannot be freed.
