This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled firmware: cirrus: cs_dsp: Initialize debugfs_root to invalid to the 6.1-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: firmware-cirrus-cs_dsp-initialize-debugfs_root-to-in.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8e2cd7e06b3bfd2a95613c678288c0d58bf28ac3 Author: Richard Fitzgerald <rf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 7 10:53:53 2024 +0000 firmware: cirrus: cs_dsp: Initialize debugfs_root to invalid [ Upstream commit 66626b15636b5f5cf3d7f6104799f77462748974 ] Initialize debugfs_root to -ENODEV so that if the client never sets a valid debugfs root the debugfs files will not be created. A NULL pointer passed to any of the debugfs_create_*() functions means "create in the root of debugfs". It doesn't mean "ignore".
