If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d2db63b026091d0252191b5451d3ea343c1bd312 Author: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Dec 19 06:01:47 2023 +0100 ppdev: Remove usage of the deprecated ida_simple_xx() API [ Upstream commit d8407f71ebeaeb6f50bd89791837873e44609708 ] ida_alloc() and ida_free() should be preferred to the deprecated ida_simple_get() and ida_simple_remove(). This is less verbose.
