One of the fixes reverted as part of the UMN fallout was actually fine, however rather than undoing the revert the process that handled all this stuff resulted in a patch which attempted to add extra error checks instead. Unfortunately this new change wasn't really based on a good understanding of the subsystem APIs and bypassed the usual patch flow without ensuring it was reviewed by people with subsystem knowledge and was merged as a fix rather than during the merge window. The effect of the new fix is to upgrade what were previously warnings on static data in the code to hard errors on that data. If this actually happens then it would break existing systems, if it doesn't happen then the change has no effect so this was not a safe change to apply as a fix to the release candidates. Since the new code has not been tested and doesn't in practice improve error handling revert it instead, and also drop the original revert since the original fix was fine. This takes the driver back to what it was in -rc1. Fixes: |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
