This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled serial: max310x: prevent infinite while() loop in port startup to the 5.4-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-prevent-infinite-while-loop-in-port-s.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 75e06784237bda9c93318d2b291801fda5dbdc6a Author: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jan 16 16:30:01 2024 -0500 serial: max310x: prevent infinite while() loop in port startup [ Upstream commit b35f8dbbce818b02c730dc85133dc7754266e084 ] If there is a problem after resetting a port, the do/while() loop that checks the default value of DIVLSB register may run forever and spam the I2C bus. Add a delay before each read of DIVLSB, and a maximum number of tries to prevent that situation from happening. Also fail probe if port reset is unsuccessful.
