This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mtd: spi-nor: cadence-quadspi: Handle probe deferral while requesting DMA channel to the 4.19-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: mtd-spi-nor-cadence-quadspi-handle-probe-deferral-wh.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c669aa3fb62a67b8b2765ff6cbe2d14f6955b5e9 Author: Vignesh Raghavendra <vigneshr@xxxxxx> Date: Mon Jun 1 12:34:41 2020 +0530 mtd: spi-nor: cadence-quadspi: Handle probe deferral while requesting DMA channel [ Upstream commit 935da5e5100f57d843cac4781b21f1c235059aa0 ] dma_request_chan_by_mask() can throw EPROBE_DEFER if DMA provider is not yet probed. Currently driver just falls back to using PIO mode (which is less efficient) in this case. Instead return probe deferral error as is so that driver will be re probed once DMA provider is available.
