This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled MIPS: BCM63xx: Move bcm63xx_gpio_init() to bcm63xx_register_devices(). to the 4.0-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mips-bcm63xx-move-bcm63xx_gpio_init-to-bcm63xx_register_devices.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.0 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fri May 8 16:23:10 2015 From: Ralf Baechle <ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 17:00:58 +0100 Subject: MIPS: BCM63xx: Move bcm63xx_gpio_init() to bcm63xx_register_devices(). To: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <9a195d2d1a1ae559288322adbe2c19a837e31d7e.1431087908.git.ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> From: Nicolas Schichan <nschichan@xxxxxxxxxx> Commit 2ec459f2a77b808c1e5a3616c88b613d3f720c8d upstream. When called from prom init code, bcm63xx_gpio_init() will fail as it will call gpiochip_add() which relies on a working kmalloc() to alloc the gpio_desc array and kmalloc is not useable yet at prom init time. Move bcm63xx_gpio_init() to bcm63xx_register_devices() (an arch_initcall) where kmalloc works.
