This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled spi: synquacer: Fix timeout handling in synquacer_spi_transfer_one() 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: spi-synquacer-fix-timeout-handling-in-synquacer_spi_.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 b9c26f168fdace3093b27c4bf84b1b9f45c7238e Author: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Feb 15 14:01:28 2023 +0100 spi: synquacer: Fix timeout handling in synquacer_spi_transfer_one() [ Upstream commit e6a0b671880207566e1ece983bf989dde60bc1d7 ] wait_for_completion_timeout() never returns a <0 value. It returns either on timeout or a positive value (at least 1, or number of jiffies left till timeout) So, fix the error handling path and return -ETIMEDOUT should a timeout occur.
