This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled serial: max310x: fail probe if clock crystal is unstable 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: serial-max310x-fail-probe-if-clock-crystal-is-unstab.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 0545f60f222499c7ab4f10ef0b2cd8a6c17cf290 Author: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jan 16 16:30:00 2024 -0500 serial: max310x: fail probe if clock crystal is unstable [ Upstream commit 8afa6c6decea37e7cb473d2c60473f37f46cea35 ] A stable clock is really required in order to use this UART, so log an error message and bail out if the chip reports that the clock is not stable.
