This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled staging: greybus: add host device function pointer checks to the 4.9-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: staging-greybus-add-host-device-function-pointer-checks.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Sun Nov 19 11:32:28 CET 2017 From: Jason Hrycay <jhrycay@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2016 14:49:27 -0600 Subject: staging: greybus: add host device function pointer checks From: Jason Hrycay <jhrycay@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f05a88a39c5b5f226e08e626998bb920723b7d85 ] Add sanity checks for cport_quiesce and cport_clear before invoking the callbacks as these function pointers are not required during the host device registration. This follows the logic implemented elsewhere for various other function pointers.
