This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled USB: bcma: Make GPIO explicitly optional to the 4.19-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: usb-bcma-make-gpio-explicitly-optional.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ac44493f24a7b75ab8b62b826875b87ca28d51bf Author: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 7 10:07:53 2022 +0100 USB: bcma: Make GPIO explicitly optional [ Upstream commit cd136706b4f925aa5d316642543babac90d45910 ] What the code does is to not check the return value from devm_gpiod_get() and then avoid using an erroneous GPIO descriptor with IS_ERR_OR_NULL(). This will miss real errors from the GPIO core that should not be ignored, such as probe deferral. Instead request the GPIO as explicitly optional, which means that if it doesn't exist, the descriptor returned will be NULL. Then we can add error handling and also avoid just doing this on the device tree path, and simplify the site where the optional GPIO descriptor is used. There were some problems with cleaning up this GPIO descriptor use in the past, but this is the proper way to deal with it.
