I originally thought that the "hardware" refers to GL975x chips. This Genesys patch is to fix the EMI problem for GL975x controller on a system. There is a new Linux-based system now in development stage build in the GL975x controller encounter the EMI problem due to the Kernel 5.4 do not support Genesys patch for EMI. Hence we would like to add the patch to Kernel 5.4. > > > There are still some customer cases using v5.4 LTS hence we need to > > add the patch for v5.4 LTS. > > Your customer problems are not the upstream kernel's problems, this is > why they pay you :) Thanks for your reminder :) > > Have you read the stable kernel rules: > https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html > > What category does this patch fall into? Hmm. I think It fixes an EMI issue of hardware (system). > > thanks, > > greg k-h Best regards, Ben
