The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 3.13-stable tree.
I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt.
I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to
<stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> and let me know why this patch should be
applied. Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be
seen again.
thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] pinctrl: do not init debugfs entries for unimplemented
functionalities
Commit c420619 "pinctrl: pinconf: remove checks on ops->pin_config_get"
removed the check on (ops != NULL) when performing pinconf_pins_show() or
pinconf_groups_show(). As these entries are always enabled, even if
pinconf is not supported, reading will result in an oops due to NULL
ops.
Instead of checking for ops, remove the corresponding debugfs entries if
pinconf and/or pinmux are not implemented.
Tested on OMAP3 (pinctrl-single).
