RE: Bad commit backported on the v5.15.y branch ?

Thanks for the reply Thorsten.

So is anybody able to indicate why this commit 1fe15be1fb6135 has been backported to 5.15.y?
Actually this creates a bug on v5.15 (see commands executed in my original message).
I don't know for 6.8 or 6.12 release, I'm not able to update my target with such gap.

Regards
Joel

FWIW, that is 1fe15be1fb6135 ("drivers: clk: zynqmp: update divider
round rate logic") [v6.8-rc1].

Looks like because it fixes a bug. I CCed the original author and those
that handled the patch, maybe they can help us out and tell us what's
the best strategy forward here.

Does 6.12-rc work fine for you? Because if not, we should fix the
problem there.

Ciao, Thorsten
