Hello Greg & Sasha, I would like to ask you for your opinion about backporting DTS patches to stable kernel which allows usage of hwrng on Marvell Armada 3700 devices. Driver is already part of 5.4 kernel, just DTS bindings are not there. I do not know if such backport is suitable for stable kernels. In file https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html is written that "New device IDs and quirks are also accepted" where "device id" could mean also small DTS change...
We could, that's how I've been parsing that rule.
What do you think? Question is about these 3 small commits: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=90ae47215de3fec862aeb1a0f0e28bb505ab1351 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=46d2f6d0c99f7f95600e633c7dc727745faaf95e https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=3a52a48973b355b3aac5add92ef50650ae37c2bd
If it was actually tested on 5.4, I could queue it up for the next release cycle. -- Thanks, Sasha
