This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled i2c: tegra: check the clk_prepare_enable() return value to the 3.8-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: i2c-tegra-check-the-clk_prepare_enable-return-value.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 132c803f7b70b17322579f6f4f3f65cf68e55135 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laxman Dewangan <ldewangan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2013 05:34:08 +0000 Subject: i2c: tegra: check the clk_prepare_enable() return value From: Laxman Dewangan <ldewangan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 132c803f7b70b17322579f6f4f3f65cf68e55135 upstream. NVIDIA's Tegra SoC allows read/write of controller register only if controller clock is enabled. System hangs if read/write happens to registers without enabling clock. clk_prepare_enable() can be fail due to unknown reason and hence adding check for return value of this function. If this function success then only access register otherwise return to caller with error.
