This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 5.5.11 release.
There are 65 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response
to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please
let me know.
Responses should be made by Sat, 21 Mar 2020 12:37:04 +0000.
Anything received after that time might be too late.
arm:davinci_all_defconfig fails to build.
include/linux/gpio/driver.h: In function 'gpiochip_populate_parent_fwspec_twocell':
include/linux/gpio/driver.h:552:1: error: no return statement in function returning non-void [-Werror=return-type]
552 | }
The problem is caused by commit 8db6a5905e98 ("gpiolib: Add support for the
irqdomain which doesn't use irq_fwspec as arg") which is missing its fix,
commit 9c6722d85e922 ("gpio: Fix the no return statement warning"). That one
is missing a Fixes: tag, providing a good example why such tags are desirable.
Thanks for letting me know, I've now dropped that patch (others
complained about it for other reasons) and will push out a -rc2 with
that fix.
I did wonder why the offending patch was included, but then I figured that
I lost the "we apply too many patches to stable releases" battle, and I didn't
want to re-litigate it.
I usually much rather take prerequisite patches rather than do
backports, which is why that patch was selected.
