Subject: patch "usb: xhci: avoid renesas_usb_fw.mem when it's unusable" added to usb-linus
Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2021 09:49:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1626853756241118@kroah.com> (raw)
This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb: xhci: avoid renesas_usb_fw.mem when it's unusable
to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git
in the usb-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: usb: xhci: avoid renesas_usb_fw.mem when it's unusable
Commit a66d21d7dba8 ("usb: xhci: Add support for Renesas controller with
memory") added renesas_usb_fw.mem firmware reference to xhci-pci. Thus
modinfo indicates xhci-pci.ko has "firmware: renesas_usb_fw.mem". But
the firmware is only actually used with CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI_RENESAS. An
unusable firmware reference can trigger safety checkers which look for
drivers with unmet firmware dependencies.
Avoid referring to renesas_usb_fw.mem in circumstances when it cannot be
loaded (when CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI_RENESAS isn't set).
