Hi
The arm-dts-ls1021a-specify-tbipa-register-address.patch which have just
been added to 4.4-stable, 4.9-stable, 4.14-stable and 4.16-stable trees,
relies on the 2d23129b00d2a67e58a7b17205f5ba7ec4523fd0 in order to make
sense.
Could 2d23129b00d2a67e58a7b17205f5ba7ec4523fd0 be added to those trees
as well?

~/linux/stable/linux-stable $ git show 2d23129b00d2a67e58a7b17205f5ba7ec4523fd0
fatal: bad object 2d23129b00d2a67e58a7b17205f5ba7ec4523fd0
Are you sure that is the correct git id?
thanks,

Obviously not.
The correct id is 21481189e8ffa4016e398d46ac6d66fb0f23acc3
Sorry about that.

In looking at this patch, it just seems to be changing the way the
information is retrieved from the hardware/dts file, and as such, does
not seem like a viable stable kernel patch at this point in time.
So I've removed the original
arm-dts-ls1021a-specify-tbipa-register-address.patch patch from all of
the specific kernel patch queues now.
thanks,

Yes, 21481189e8ffa4016e398d46ac6d66fb0f23acc3 changes the way the TBIPA
register is accessed. But only if DTS has two register blocks, which is
not the case without 5571196135abb6d51e01592812997403c136067c.
So I think it is fair to say that it is backwards compatible, but
whether it together with 5571196135abb6d51e01592812997403c136067c is
viable for stable right now is another question.
They do change how hardware is accessed, but they changes it so that it
fixes a bug on LS1021A.
