This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled i2c: sprd: Delete i2c adapter in .remove's error path to the 4.14-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: i2c-sprd-delete-i2c-adapter-in-.remove-s-error-path.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 136fcaced15aeac6f24de974ced0d8e43ae3c3cd Author: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 9 10:58:19 2023 +0100 i2c: sprd: Delete i2c adapter in .remove's error path [ Upstream commit ca0aa17f2db3468fd017038d23a78e17388e2f67 ] If pm runtime resume fails the .remove callback used to exit early. This resulted in an error message by the driver core but the device gets removed anyhow. This lets the registered i2c adapter stay around with an unbound parent device. So only skip clk disabling if resume failed, but do delete the adapter.
