This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled thermal: intel: quark_dts: fix error pointer dereference 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: thermal-intel-quark_dts-fix-error-pointer-dereferenc.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 1a88da57e08c7fbf3d22c52ec05159cb4ecd4e24 Author: Dan Carpenter <error27@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Feb 27 13:06:50 2023 +0300 thermal: intel: quark_dts: fix error pointer dereference [ Upstream commit f1b930e740811d416de4d2074da48b6633a672c8 ] If alloc_soc_dts() fails, then we can just return. Trying to free "soc_dts" will lead to an Oops. Fixes: 8c1876939663 ("thermal: intel Quark SoC X1000 DTS thermal driver") Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <error27@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
