This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled spi: spi-fsl-dspi: Fix crash when not using GPIO chip select to the 6.11-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: spi-spi-fsl-dspi-fix-crash-when-not-using-gpio-chip-.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.11 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit dd51986062472b24ac98f9a7b4a8c313bb640b5d Author: Frank Li <Frank.Li@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed Oct 23 16:30:32 2024 -0400 spi: spi-fsl-dspi: Fix crash when not using GPIO chip select [ Upstream commit 25f00a13dccf8e45441265768de46c8bf58e08f6 ] Add check for the return value of spi_get_csgpiod() to avoid passing a NULL pointer to gpiod_direction_output(), preventing a crash when GPIO chip select is not used.
