This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ASoC: apple: mca: Improve handling of unavailable DMA channels 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: asoc-apple-mca-improve-handling-of-unavailable-dma-c.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 aa19f15c39b1d4da4e30ee0d38dcc4ab1312c8a6 Author: Martin Povišer <povik+lin@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Feb 24 16:33:02 2023 +0100 ASoC: apple: mca: Improve handling of unavailable DMA channels [ Upstream commit fb1847cc460c127b12720119eae5f438ffc62e85 ] When we fail to obtain a DMA channel, don't return a blanket -EINVAL, instead return the original error code if there's one. This makes deferring work as it should. Also don't print an error message for -EPROBE_DEFER.
