This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled clk: Return errors from clk providers in __of_clk_get_from_provider() to the 4.8-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: clk-return-errors-from-clk-providers-in-__of_clk_get_from_provider.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From f155d15b64e36b45ca89e3521fe0c1ccad5e5ff0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2016 14:32:23 -0700 Subject: clk: Return errors from clk providers in __of_clk_get_from_provider() From: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit f155d15b64e36b45ca89e3521fe0c1ccad5e5ff0 upstream. Before commit 0861e5b8cf80 (clk: Add clk_hw OF clk providers, 2016-02-05) __of_clk_get_from_provider() would return an error pointer of the provider's choosing if there was a provider registered and EPROBE_DEFER otherwise. After that commit, it would return EPROBE_DEFER regardless of whether or not the provider returned an error. This is odd and can lead to behavior where clk consumers keep probe deferring when they should be seeing some other error. Let's restore the previous behavior where we only return EPROBE_DEFER when there isn't a provider in our of_clk_providers list. Otherwise, return the error from the last provider we find that matches the node.
