Hi stable team,
I would like to request for cherry picking to the linux-6.1.y branch:
19098934f910 ("PCI: mt7621: Add sentinel to quirks table")
a2cab953b4c0 ("mips: ralink: mt7621: define MT7621_SYSC_BASE with __iomem")
b4767d4c0725 ("mips: ralink: mt7621: soc queries and tests as functions")
7c18b64bba3b ("mips: ralink: mt7621: do not use kzalloc too early")
On the mips mt7621 SoC, a kzalloc is used too early and returns before reaching a soc_device_register.
soc_device_attribute->revision is used to identify MT7621 ver:1 eco:1 devices for a pci & phy-pci quirk.
A SLUB change in kernel 6.1 caused the device to fail to boot, rather than silently continue.
In fixing this, it was then seen that the pci & phy-pci drivers would oops,
as they were missing a sentinel in their soc_device_match quirks table.
The phy-pci fix has already been applied to stable.
The pci & early kzalloc fixes missed the 6.1rc window and are being taken for 6.2
In a quick web search I cannot find any reference to bootlogs for "ver:1 eco:1"
(which would use the quirk for PCI), so cannot see a current need to backport this
further than fixing the 6.1 boot error.
