Message-ID: <20260417055530.D190AC19425@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled

has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kho-fix-error-handling-in-kho_add_subtree.patch
This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued

Subject: kho: fix error handling in kho_add_subtree()
Date: Tue, 07 Apr 2026 10:01:47 -0700
Fix two error handling issues in kho_add_subtree(), where it doesn't
handle the error path correctly.
1. If fdt_setprop() fails after the subnode has been created, the
subnode is not removed. This leaves an incomplete node in the FDT
(missing "preserved-data" or "blob-size" properties).
2. The fdt_setprop() return value (an FDT error code) is stored
directly in err and returned to the caller, which expects -errno.
Fix both by storing fdt_setprop() results in fdt_err, jumping to a new
out_del_node label that removes the subnode on failure, and only setting
err = 0 on the success path, otherwise returning -ENOMEM (instead of
FDT_ERR_ errors that would come from fdt_setprop).
