This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ALSA: seq: Make dependency on UMP clearer to the 6.12-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: alsa-seq-make-dependency-on-ump-clearer.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.12 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d6ad0b3546f99cc33215e4f2b8a59d10962f290e Author: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jan 1 13:55:47 2025 +0100 ALSA: seq: Make dependency on UMP clearer [ Upstream commit 9001d515443518d72222ba4d58e247696b625071 ] CONFIG_SND_SEQ_UMP_CLIENT is a Kconfig for a sequencer client corresponding to the UMP rawmidi, while we have another major knob CONFIG_SND_SEQ_UMP that specifies whether the sequencer core supports UMP packets or not. Strictly speaking both of them are independent, but practically seen, it makes no sense to enable CONFIG_SND_SEQ_UMP_CLIENT without UMP support itself. This patch makes such an implicit dependency clearer. Now CONFIG_SND_SEQ_UMP_CLIENT depends on both CONFIG_SND_UMP and CONFIG_SND_SEQ_UMP. Meanwhile, CONFIG_SND_SEQ_UMP is enabled as default when CONFIG_SND_UMP is set.
