This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tty: serial: meson: if no alias specified use an available id 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: tty-serial-meson-if-no-alias-specified-use-an-availa.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 e7e14b757462fb9ba63ff16201863d50f76b7041 Author: Loys Ollivier <lollivier@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jan 14 17:54:26 2019 +0100 tty: serial: meson: if no alias specified use an available id [ Upstream commit a26988e8fef4b258d1b771e0f4b2e3b67cb2e044 ] At probe, the uart driver tries to get an id from a device tree alias. When no alias was specified, the driver would return an error and probing would fail. Providing an alias for registering a serial device should not be mandatory. If the device tree does not specify an alias, provide an id from a reserved range so that the probing can continue.
