This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled clk: microchip: check for null return of devm_kzalloc() to the 6.1-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: clk-microchip-check-for-null-return-of-devm_kzalloc.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b3555521463263b54aef559d0f0b51a003413f55 Author: Hui Tang <tanghui20@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Nov 19 13:48:58 2022 +0800 clk: microchip: check for null return of devm_kzalloc() [ Upstream commit e2e6a217a84d09785848a82599729c9a41566e3a ] Because of the possible failure of devm_kzalloc(), name might be NULL and will cause null pointer dereference later. Therefore, it might be better to check it and directly return -ENOMEM.
