This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: ethernet: stmmac: dwmac-rk: fix optional phy regulator handling 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: net-ethernet-stmmac-dwmac-rk-fix-optional-phy-regula.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 7ba80ef45bbf19aeb1245cd3fe7e0ae3941dd7ba Author: Sebastian Reichel <sebastian.reichel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Apr 7 18:11:29 2023 +0200 net: ethernet: stmmac: dwmac-rk: fix optional phy regulator handling [ Upstream commit db21973263f8c56750cb610f1d5e8bee00a513b9 ] The usual devm_regulator_get() call already handles "optional" regulators by returning a valid dummy and printing a warning that the dummy regulator should be described properly. This code open coded the same behaviour, but masked any errors that are not -EPROBE_DEFER and is quite noisy. This change effectively unmasks and propagates regulators errors not involving -ENODEV, downgrades the error print to warning level if no regulator is specified and captures the probe defer message for /sys/kernel/debug/devices_deferred.
