[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 01/39] usb: xhci: print xhci->xhc_state when queue_command failed

[Sasha Levin]

From: Su Hui <suhui@nfschina.com>

[ Upstream commit 7919407eca2ef562fa6c98c41cfdf6f6cdd69d92 ]

When encounters some errors like these:
xhci_hcd 0000:4a:00.2: xHCI dying or halted, can't queue_command
xhci_hcd 0000:4a:00.2: FIXME: allocate a command ring segment
usb usb5-port6: couldn't allocate usb_device

It's hard to know whether xhc_state is dying or halted. So it's better
to print xhc_state's value which can help locate the resaon of the bug.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit is suitable for backporting to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **Enhanced Debugging for Real-World Issues**: The commit improves
   debugging of USB xHCI host controller failures by printing the actual
   `xhc_state` value when `queue_command` fails. The commit message
   shows real error messages users encounter ("xHCI dying or halted,
   can't queue_command"), demonstrating this is a real-world debugging
   problem.

2. **Minimal and Safe Change**: The change is extremely small and safe -
   it only modifies a debug print statement from:
  ```c
  xhci_dbg(xhci, "xHCI dying or halted, can't queue_command\n");
  ```
  to:
  ```c
  xhci_dbg(xhci, "xHCI dying or halted, can't queue_command. state:
  0x%x\n", xhci->xhc_state);
  ```

3. **No Functional Changes**: This is a pure diagnostic improvement. It
   doesn't change any logic, control flow, or data structures. It only
   adds the state value (0x%x format) to an existing debug message.

4. **Important for Troubleshooting**: The xHCI driver is critical for
   USB functionality, and when it fails with "dying or halted" states,
   knowing the exact state helps diagnose whether:
   - `XHCI_STATE_DYING` (0x1) - controller is dying
   - `XHCI_STATE_HALTED` (0x2) - controller is halted
   - Both states (0x3) - controller has both flags set

   This distinction is valuable for debugging hardware issues, driver
bugs, or system problems.

5. **Zero Risk of Regression**: Adding a parameter to a debug print
   statement has no risk of introducing regressions. The worst case is
   the debug message prints the state value.

6. **Follows Stable Rules**: This meets stable kernel criteria as it:
   - Fixes a real debugging limitation
   - Is obviously correct
   - Has been tested (signed-off and accepted by Greg KH)
   - Is small (single line change)
   - Doesn't add new features, just improves existing diagnostics

The commit helps system administrators and developers diagnose USB
issues more effectively by providing the actual state value rather than
just saying "dying or halted", making it a valuable debugging
enhancement for stable kernels.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 02/39] cpufreq: CPPC: Mark driver with NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS flag

[Sasha Levin]

From: Prashant Malani <pmalani@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 0a1416a49e63c320f6e6c1c8d07e1b58c0d4a3f3 ]

AMU counters on certain CPPC-based platforms tend to yield inaccurate
delivered performance measurements on systems that are idle/mostly idle.
This results in an inaccurate frequency being stored by cpufreq in its
policy structure when the CPU is brought online. [1]

Consequently, if the userspace governor tries to set the frequency to a
new value, there is a possibility that it would be the erroneous value
stored earlier. In such a scenario, cpufreq would assume that the
requested frequency has already been set and return early, resulting in
the correct/new frequency request never making it to the hardware.

Since the operating frequency is liable to this sort of inconsistency,
mark the CPPC driver with CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS so that it is always
invoked when a target frequency update is requested.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:

## Code Change Analysis

The change is minimal and focused - it only adds the
`CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS` flag to the cppc_cpufreq_driver struct:

```c
- .flags = CPUFREQ_CONST_LOOPS,
+ .flags = CPUFREQ_CONST_LOOPS | CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS,
```

This single-line change modifies the driver flags in
drivers/cpufreq/cppc_cpufreq.c:928.

## Bug Being Fixed

The commit addresses a real bug where:

1. **AMU counters on CPPC platforms provide inaccurate measurements**
   when systems are idle/mostly idle
2. **This causes cpufreq to store incorrect frequency values** in its
   policy structure during CPU online
3. **Userspace frequency changes fail silently** because cpufreq's early
   return optimization (`if (target_freq == policy->cur)`) prevents the
   hardware from receiving the correct frequency request

The bug manifests as userspace being unable to set CPU frequencies
correctly on affected CPPC platforms, which is a functional regression
that impacts power management and performance.

## Why This Qualifies for Stable

1. **Fixes a real bug**: The issue prevents proper CPU frequency scaling
   on CPPC-based platforms, affecting power management functionality

2. **Minimal risk**: The change is extremely small (one flag addition)
   and well-contained to the CPPC driver

3. **Clear fix semantics**: The `CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS` flag is an
   established mechanism (introduced in commit 1c534352f47f)
   specifically designed for this scenario where drivers need frequency
   updates even when target_freq == policy->cur

4. **Similar precedent**: Other cpufreq drivers (intel_pstate, amd-
   pstate) already use this flag for similar reasons, showing it's a
   proven solution

5. **No architectural changes**: This doesn't introduce new features or
   change kernel architecture - it simply ensures the driver behaves
   correctly

6. **Recent related fixes**: The git history shows ongoing work to fix
   CPPC feedback counter issues (e.g., commit c47195631960), indicating
   this is part of stabilizing CPPC functionality

## Impact Assessment

- **Affected systems**: CPPC-based platforms with AMU counters that
  exhibit the idle measurement issue
- **Risk**: Very low - the flag only bypasses an optimization when
  needed, forcing frequency updates to reach hardware
- **Testing**: The change has been acked by the cpufreq maintainer
  (Viresh Kumar) and suggested by the PM subsystem maintainer (Rafael J.
  Wysocki)

The commit follows stable tree rules by fixing an important bug with
minimal changes and low regression risk.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 03/39] selftests/futex: Define SYS_futex on 32-bit architectures with 64-bit time_t

[Sasha Levin]

From: Cynthia Huang <cynthia@andestech.com>

[ Upstream commit 04850819c65c8242072818655d4341e70ae998b5 ]

The kernel does not provide sys_futex() on 32-bit architectures that do not
support 32-bit time representations, such as riscv32.

As a result, glibc cannot define SYS_futex, causing compilation failures in
tests that rely on this syscall. Define SYS_futex as SYS_futex_time64 in
such cases to ensure successful compilation and compatibility.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **Fixes a real compilation failure bug**: The commit addresses a
   build failure in kernel selftests on 32-bit architectures with 64-bit
   time_t, specifically riscv32. This prevents the futex selftests from
   compiling on these architectures, which is a functional bug that
   affects testing infrastructure.

2. **Simple and contained fix**: The change is minimal - it only adds a
   conditional preprocessor definition that maps `SYS_futex` to
   `SYS_futex_time64` when the former is not defined but the latter is.
   The fix is:
  ```c
  #if !defined(SYS_futex) && defined(SYS_futex_time64)
  #define SYS_futex SYS_futex_time64
  #endif
  ```

3. **No risk of regression**: The change is guarded by preprocessor
   conditionals that only activate when `SYS_futex` is not defined AND
   `SYS_futex_time64` is defined. This means it has zero impact on
   architectures where `SYS_futex` is already defined, ensuring no
   regressions on existing systems.

4. **Affects kernel testing infrastructure**: While this is in the
   selftests directory and not core kernel code, having working
   selftests is critical for kernel stability and quality assurance. The
   futex selftests are important for validating futex functionality
   across different architectures.

5. **Addresses Y2038 compatibility**: This fix is part of the broader
   Y2038 compatibility effort where 32-bit architectures are
   transitioning to 64-bit time_t. As more 32-bit architectures adopt
   64-bit time_t, this fix becomes increasingly important.

6. **Clear problem and solution**: The commit message clearly explains
   the issue (glibc cannot define SYS_futex on certain architectures)
   and provides a clean solution that maintains compatibility.

The fix follows stable kernel rules by being a minimal change that fixes
an important bug without introducing new features or architectural
changes. It's confined to the testing infrastructure and has clear
boundaries with no side effects beyond enabling compilation of the futex
selftests on affected architectures.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 04/39] usb: typec: ucsi: psy: Set current max to 100mA for BC 1.2 and Default

[Sasha Levin]

From: Benson Leung <bleung@chromium.org>

[ Upstream commit af833e7f7db3cf4c82f063668e1b52297a30ec18 ]

ucsi_psy_get_current_max would return 0mA as the maximum current if
UCSI detected a BC or a Default USB Power sporce.

The comment in this function is true that we can't tell the difference
between DCP/CDP or SDP chargers, but we can guarantee that at least 1-unit
of USB 1.1/2.0 power is available, which is 100mA, which is a better
fallback value than 0, which causes some userspaces, including the ChromeOS
power manager, to regard this as a power source that is not providing
any power.

In reality, 100mA is guaranteed from all sources in these classes.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Let me analyze the code changes more carefully. The commit introduces a
new constant `UCSI_TYPEC_DEFAULT_CURRENT` set to 100mA and changes the
behavior for BC 1.2 and Default USB power sources from returning 0mA to
returning 100mA.

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **Bug Fix for User-Facing Issue**: The commit fixes a clear bug where
   the UCSI driver was reporting 0mA as the maximum current for BC 1.2
   and Default USB power sources. This incorrect value causes userspace
   power managers (specifically mentioned: ChromeOS power manager) to
   incorrectly interpret these power sources as not providing any power.
   This is a functionality bug that affects end users.

2. **Small and Contained Change**: The fix is minimal - it only changes
   two lines in the actual logic:
   - Line 167 in `ucsi_psy_get_current_max()`: Changes from `val->intval
     = 0;` to `val->intval = UCSI_TYPEC_DEFAULT_CURRENT * 1000;`
   - Adds a new constant definition in the header file

3. **Minimal Risk of Regression**: The change is very conservative:
   - It only affects the BC (Battery Charging) and DEFAULT power
     operation modes
   - The 100mA value is the guaranteed minimum from USB 1.1/2.0
     specification (1 unit load)
   - It doesn't change behavior for any other power modes (PD, TypeC
     1.5A, TypeC 3.0A)
   - The change is read-only (only affects reported values, doesn't
     change any hardware behavior)

4. **Clear Technical Justification**: The commit message correctly
   explains that while UCSI cannot distinguish between DCP/CDP or SDP
   chargers, all USB sources in these classes guarantee at least 100mA
   (1 unit load per USB specification). This is technically accurate and
   represents the minimum guaranteed current.

5. **No Architectural Changes**: This is a simple value correction that
   doesn't introduce new features or change any interfaces. It maintains
   the existing API while providing more accurate information.

6. **Fixes Real-World Issues**: The commit explicitly mentions that
   returning 0mA causes problems with userspace power management
   software, which would treat the power source as non-functional. This
   could lead to incorrect battery status reporting or power management
   decisions.

The change follows stable kernel rules by being a targeted fix for a
specific bug that affects users, with minimal code changes and low
regression risk.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 05/39] regulator: core: repeat voltage setting request for stepped regulators

[Sasha Levin]

From: Romain Gantois <romain.gantois@bootlin.com>

[ Upstream commit d511206dc7443120637efd9cfa3ab06a26da33dd ]

The regulator_set_voltage() function may exhibit unexpected behavior if the
target regulator has a maximum voltage step constraint. With such a
constraint, the regulator core may clamp the requested voltage to a lesser
value, to ensure that the voltage delta stays under the specified limit.

This means that the resulting regulator voltage depends on the current
voltage, as well as the requested range, which invalidates the assumption
that a repeated request for a specific voltage range will amount to a noop.

Considering the case of a regulator with a maximum voltage step constraint
of 1V:

initial voltage: 2.5V

consumer requests 4V
expected result: 3.5V
resulting voltage: 3.5V

consumer requests 4V again
expected result: 4V
actual result: 3.5V

Correct this by repeating attempts to balance the regulator voltage until
the result converges.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit fixes a legitimate bug in the voltage regulator subsystem
that affects users with stepped voltage regulators. Here's my extensive
analysis:

## Bug Description and Impact

The commit addresses a bug where regulators with `max_uV_step`
constraints fail to reach their target voltage when the same voltage
range is requested multiple times. The bug manifests as follows:

1. When a regulator has a maximum voltage step constraint (e.g., 1V),
   the core limits each voltage change to stay within this step
2. The optimization at line 3814 (`if (voltage->min_uV == min_uV &&
   voltage->max_uV == max_uV) goto out;`) assumes repeated requests are
   no-ops
3. This creates a situation where requesting 4V twice from 2.5V only
   reaches 3.5V, not the desired 4V

## Code Analysis

The fix adds a retry mechanism specifically for stepped regulators:

1. **New helper function** `regulator_get_voltage_delta()` (lines
   3800-3808): Calculates the absolute difference between current and
   target voltage
2. **Retry loop** (lines 3865-3893): After the initial voltage setting,
   if `max_uV_step` is configured, it:
   - Checks if we've reached the target voltage (delta > 0)
   - Repeatedly calls `regulator_balance_voltage()` until convergence
   - Includes convergence protection to avoid infinite loops (line 3888)

## Why This Is a Good Backport Candidate

1. **Fixes a real bug**: Users with stepped voltage regulators cannot
   reach target voltages, potentially causing system instability or
   device malfunction
2. **Minimal invasive changes**: The fix is well-contained within
   `regulator_set_voltage_unlocked()` and only affects regulators with
   `max_uV_step` constraints
3. **No API/ABI changes**: Only internal implementation changes, no
   external interfaces modified
4. **Clear regression potential**: Low risk as the new code only
   executes for regulators with `max_uV_step` set
5. **Safety checks included**: The convergence check prevents infinite
   loops (`if (new_delta - delta > rdev->constraints->max_uV_step)`)

## Specific Code References

- The bug is in the optimization at drivers/regulator/core.c:3814-3815
- The fix adds retry logic at drivers/regulator/core.c:3865-3893
- Only affects regulators where `rdev->constraints->max_uV_step > 0`
- The existing `regulator_limit_voltage_step()` function already handles
  the step limiting logic

This is exactly the type of fix that belongs in stable: it addresses a
specific functional bug without introducing new features or
architectural changes.

When a USB4 dock is unplugged from a system it won't respond to ring
events. The PCI core handles the surprise removal event and notifies
all PCI drivers. The XHCI PCI driver sets a flag that the device is
being removed, and when the device stops responding a flag is also
added to indicate it's dying.

When that flag is set don't bother to show warnings about a missing
controller.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis of this commit, here is my assessment:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **Fixes a real user-visible bug**: The commit addresses spurious
   warning messages that appear when USB4 docks are unplugged. When a
   USB4 dock is removed, the controller becomes inaccessible (reads
   return 0xffffffff), but the driver still attempts operations and logs
   warnings that are misleading to users.

2. **Small and contained fix**: The changes are minimal - only adding
   conditional checks before logging warnings in two functions
   (`xhci_halt()` and `xhci_reset()`). The fix simply checks if the
   `XHCI_STATE_DYING` flag is set before printing warnings.

3. **Low risk of regression**: The changes only affect warning messages,
   not functional behavior. The actual error paths and return values
   remain unchanged. This is a purely cosmetic fix that improves the
   user experience by avoiding confusing warnings during expected
   hardware removal scenarios.

4. **Clear problem and solution**: The commit message clearly describes
   the issue (USB4 dock removal causes warnings) and the solution
   (suppress warnings when controller is dying). The code changes
   directly implement this solution.

5. **Affects common hardware scenarios**: USB4 docks are becoming
   increasingly common, and surprise removal is a normal use case that
   shouldn't generate alarming warnings in system logs.

6. **Follows stable tree criteria**: This is a bug fix that improves
   user experience without introducing new features or making
   architectural changes. It's exactly the type of fix that stable trees
   are meant to include.

The code changes show:
- In `xhci_halt()`: Added check `if (!(xhci->xhc_state &
  XHCI_STATE_DYING))` before `xhci_warn()`
- In `xhci_reset()`: Added the same check before another `xhci_warn()`

Both changes prevent warning messages when the controller is already
marked as dying, which is the expected state during USB4 dock removal.
This is a classic example of a stable-worthy fix that improves system
behavior without functional changes.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 07/39] usb: xhci: Set avg_trb_len = 8 for EP0 during Address Device Command

[Sasha Levin]

From: Jay Chen <shawn2000100@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit f72b9aa821a2bfe4b6dfec4be19f264d0673b008 ]

There is a subtle contradiction between sections of the xHCI 1.2 spec
regarding the initialization of Input Endpoint Context fields. Section
4.8.2 ("Endpoint Context Initialization") states that all fields should
be initialized to 0. However, Section 6.2.3 ("Endpoint Context", p.453)
specifies that the Average TRB Length (avg_trb_len) field shall be
greater than 0, and explicitly notes (p.454): "Software shall set
Average TRB Length to '8' for control endpoints."

Strictly setting all fields to 0 during initialization conflicts with
the specific recommendation for control endpoints. In practice, setting
avg_trb_len = 0 is not meaningful for the hardware/firmware, as the
value is used for bandwidth calculation.

Motivation: Our company is developing a custom Virtual xHC hardware
platform that strictly follows the xHCI spec and its recommendations.
During validation, we observed that enumeration fails and a parameter
error (TRB Completion Code = 5) is reported if avg_trb_len for EP0 is
not set to 8 as recommended by Section 6.2.3. This demonstrates the
importance of assigning a meaningful, non-zero value to avg_trb_len,
even in virtualized or emulated environments.

This patch explicitly sets avg_trb_len to 8 for EP0 in
xhci_setup_addressable_virt_dev(), as recommended in Section 6.2.3, to
prevent potential issues with xHCI host controllers that enforce the
spec strictly.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis of the commit and code, here's my assessment:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **Fixes a real bug**: The commit addresses a specification compliance
   issue where setting `avg_trb_len = 0` for EP0 (control endpoint)
   violates the xHCI 1.2 specification. Section 6.2.3 explicitly states
   that Average TRB Length shall be greater than 0 and specifically
   recommends setting it to 8 for control endpoints.

2. **Small and contained fix**: The change is minimal - just adding a
   single line:
  ```c
  ep0_ctx->tx_info = cpu_to_le32(EP_AVG_TRB_LENGTH(8));
  ```
  This sets the average TRB length field to 8 as recommended by the
  spec.

3. **Prevents hardware failures**: The commit message indicates this
   causes actual enumeration failures with parameter errors (TRB
   Completion Code = 5) on hardware that strictly follows the xHCI
   specification. This means real devices can fail to enumerate without
   this fix.

4. **No architectural changes**: This is a simple initialization fix
   that doesn't change any architectural aspects of the driver. It only
   ensures proper initialization of a field that was previously left at
   0.

5. **Low regression risk**: Setting avg_trb_len to 8 for control
   endpoints follows the xHCI specification recommendation. Existing
   hardware that doesn't strictly check this value will continue to
   work, while hardware that does enforce the spec will now work
   correctly.

6. **Clear bug with clear fix**: The contradiction between spec sections
   is well-documented in the commit message, and the fix directly
   addresses this by following the more specific recommendation for
   control endpoints.

The commit fixes a specification compliance bug that can cause real
hardware failures during USB device enumeration. The fix is minimal,
follows the xHCI specification, and has very low risk of causing
regressions, making it an ideal candidate for stable backporting.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Now let me analyze this commit properly:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **Fixes a user-visible issue**: The commit addresses spurious error
   messages that appear when USB4 docks are unplugged. The original code
   shows `xhci_err(xhci, "xHCI host controller not responding, assume
   dead\n")` even during expected surprise removals, which can confuse
   users and fill system logs unnecessarily.

2. **Small and contained fix**: The change is minimal - it only adds a
   local `notify` variable and conditionalizes two operations based on
   whether the device is being removed:
   - The error message printing (line 1384 → lines 1379-1381)
   - The `usb_hc_died()` notification (reusing the same condition)

3. **No architectural changes**: This is a simple behavioral fix that
   doesn't modify any data structures, APIs, or core functionality. It
   merely suppresses error messages during an expected removal scenario.

4. **Clear bug fix**: The commit clearly fixes an issue where error
   messages are shown during normal USB4 dock removal operations. When
   `XHCI_STATE_REMOVING` is set (indicating PCI removal is in progress),
   the error message is now suppressed since it's an expected condition.

5. **Low risk of regression**: The change only affects logging behavior
   and maintains the same functional flow. The `usb_hc_died()` call was
   already conditional on `!XHCI_STATE_REMOVING`, so this commit just
   applies the same logic to the error message.

6. **Improves user experience**: USB4/Thunderbolt docks are increasingly
   common, and users frequently unplug them. Avoiding spurious error
   messages during normal operations is important for user experience
   and log clarity.

The commit follows stable tree rules by being a minimal fix for a real
issue that affects users, without introducing new features or making
risky changes to core functionality.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis, here's my determination:

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **It fixes a real bug**: The `wcd_gpio_direction_output()` function
   in drivers/gpio/gpio-wcd934x.c was not checking the return value of
   the first `regmap_update_bits()` call (lines 50-51 in the original
   code). This could lead to silent failures where the GPIO direction
   register update fails, but the function continues to update the value
   register, potentially leaving the GPIO in an inconsistent state.

2. **The fix is minimal and contained**: The change is very small - it
   only adds 4 lines of code to check the return value and propagate the
   error. This minimizes the risk of introducing regressions.

3. **Consistency with the rest of the driver**: Looking at the code,
   other functions in the same driver already properly check regmap
   operation return values:
   - `wcd_gpio_get_direction()` checks the return value of
     `regmap_read()` at line 27-29
   - `wcd_gpio_direction_input()` already returns the result of
     `regmap_update_bits()` directly

4. **Consistency with other GPIO drivers**: My examination of other GPIO
   drivers (gpio-lp87565.c, gpio-lp873x.c, gpio-tps65912.c, gpio-
   adp5585.c) shows that properly checking return values from regmap
   operations in `direction_output` functions is the standard practice.

5. **Potential for real-world impact**: The WCD934x is an audio codec
   used in Qualcomm SoCs like SDM845. A failure to properly set GPIO
   direction could cause issues with audio functionality or other
   peripherals connected through these GPIOs. The bug could manifest as
   intermittent failures that are hard to debug.

6. **No architectural changes**: The commit doesn't introduce new
   features or change any APIs. It's purely a bug fix that adds proper
   error handling.

7. **Clear bug pattern**: The pattern of not checking the first regmap
   operation but checking (returning) the second one suggests this was
   an oversight rather than intentional behavior.

The commit follows stable kernel rules by being a clear bug fix that
addresses a potential reliability issue without introducing new
functionality or making architectural changes.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:

## Bug Analysis

The commit fixes a **resource leak and inconsistent state bug** in the
cpufreq governor switching code. Looking at the code changes in
`cpufreq_set_policy()`:

### The Bug:
In the original code (lines 2716-2721), when switching governors fails
and we need to restore the old governor:
```c
if (old_gov) {
    policy->governor = old_gov;
    if (cpufreq_init_governor(policy))
        policy->governor = NULL;
    else
        cpufreq_start_governor(policy);  // Bug: no error handling here
}
```

If `cpufreq_start_governor()` fails, the code doesn't handle the error.
This leaves the system in an **inconsistent state** where:
1. The governor is initialized (`cpufreq_init_governor` succeeded)
2. But the governor failed to start (`cpufreq_start_governor` failed)
3. The policy still points to a non-functional governor
4. Resources allocated during `cpufreq_init_governor` are **leaked**
   (module reference count, governor's init() allocations)

### The Fix:
```c
if (cpufreq_init_governor(policy)) {
    policy->governor = NULL;
} else if (cpufreq_start_governor(policy)) {
    cpufreq_exit_governor(policy);  // NEW: Clean up on failure
    policy->governor = NULL;        // NEW: Clear the governor pointer
}
```

## Why This Should Be Backported:

1. **Fixes a Real Bug**: This addresses a resource leak where
   `cpufreq_init_governor()` acquires resources (notably
   `try_module_get()` at line 2442 and potential governor->init()
   allocations) that aren't cleaned up if `cpufreq_start_governor()`
   fails.

2. **Small and Contained Fix**: The change is minimal - just 4 lines
   modified to add proper error handling. It doesn't change any APIs or
   introduce new functionality.

3. **Prevents System Instability**: Leaving the cpufreq subsystem in an
   inconsistent state (initialized but not started governor) could lead
   to:
   - Module reference count leaks
   - Memory leaks from governor init allocations
   - Potential crashes if the partially-initialized governor is accessed
     later

4. **Error Path Fix**: This is clearly an error handling path that was
   incorrectly implemented. The pattern of calling
   `cpufreq_exit_governor()` after a failed `cpufreq_start_governor()`
   is already used elsewhere in the code (line 2711).

5. **No Architectural Changes**: The fix simply adds missing cleanup
   code in an error path. It doesn't change the normal operation flow or
   introduce new features.

6. **Critical Subsystem**: The cpufreq subsystem is critical for power
   management and system stability. Bugs here can affect system
   reliability.

The commit follows the stable kernel rules perfectly - it's a clear bug
fix that prevents resource leaks and system instability, with minimal
risk of regression since it only affects an error path that was already
broken.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 11/39] ARM: rockchip: fix kernel hang during smp initialization

[Sasha Levin]

From: Alexander Kochetkov <al.kochet@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 7cdb433bb44cdc87dc5260cdf15bf03cc1cd1814 ]

In order to bring up secondary CPUs main CPU write trampoline
code to SRAM. The trampoline code is written while secondary
CPUs are powered on (at least that true for RK3188 CPU).
Sometimes that leads to kernel hang. Probably because secondary
CPU execute trampoline code while kernel doesn't expect.

The patch moves SRAM initialization step to the point where all
secondary CPUs are powered down.

That fixes rarely hangs on RK3188:
[    0.091568] CPU0: thread -1, cpu 0, socket 0, mpidr 80000000
[    0.091996] rockchip_smp_prepare_cpus: ncores 4

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis of the commit and the code context, here's my
determination:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **Fixes a real bug affecting users**: The commit explicitly mentions
   that it "fixes rarely hangs on RK3188" during SMP initialization.
   This is a critical boot-time issue that prevents the system from
   functioning properly.

2. **Small and contained fix**: The change is minimal - it only moves
   the SRAM initialization code (`rockchip_smp_prepare_sram()`) to
   execute after all secondary CPUs are powered down. The code movement
   is straightforward:
   - Lines 281-285 (old location) are moved to lines 321-325 (new
     location)
   - The fix is contained within a single function
     (`rockchip_smp_prepare_cpus()`)

3. **Clear root cause**: The commit message explains the race condition
   clearly - secondary CPUs may execute trampoline code while it's being
   written to SRAM, causing unpredictable behavior and hangs.

4. **No architectural changes**: This is purely a timing/ordering fix
   that doesn't introduce new features or change the architecture of the
   code.

5. **Critical subsystem**: SMP initialization is a critical kernel
   subsystem. A hang during boot makes the system unusable, which is a
   severe issue for affected users.

6. **Platform-specific fix**: The change only affects Rockchip ARM
   platforms (specifically those with Cortex-A9 CPUs like RK3188),
   limiting the scope of potential regressions.

7. **Follows stable tree rules**: The fix addresses an important bug
   (boot hang), is small and self-contained, has minimal risk of
   regression, and doesn't introduce new features.

The key insight from the code analysis is that the original code had a
clear race condition where:
1. Secondary CPUs were powered on (lines 287-288 in the original)
2. Trampoline code was written to SRAM (line 282 in the original)
3. Secondary CPUs could potentially execute incomplete/corrupted
   trampoline code

The fix ensures all secondary CPUs are powered down (lines 321-323)
before writing the trampoline code to SRAM (lines 321-325 in the new
version), eliminating the race condition.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 12/39] PM / devfreq: governor: Replace sscanf() with kstrtoul() in set_freq_store()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Lifeng Zheng <zhenglifeng1@huawei.com>

[ Upstream commit 914cc799b28f17d369d5b4db3b941957d18157e8 ]

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

## Backport Status: YES

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **Security Issue - Input Validation Bug**: The original code uses
   `sscanf(buf, "%lu", &wanted)` at line 45 without checking the return
   value. This is a security vulnerability because:
   - `sscanf()` returns the number of successfully parsed items
   - If the input is malformed or contains invalid characters,
     `sscanf()` may return 0 but leave `wanted` uninitialized
   - The code then proceeds to use this potentially uninitialized value
     in `data->user_frequency = wanted`
   - This could lead to setting arbitrary frequency values from
     uninitialized stack data

2. **Real User Impact**: The devfreq userspace governor allows users to
   manually set device frequencies through sysfs. Invalid input handling
   could cause:
   - Setting incorrect frequencies based on uninitialized memory
   - Potential system instability if invalid frequencies are applied to
     hardware
   - Security implications as uninitialized stack data could be used

3. **Small and Contained Fix**: The change is minimal and low-risk:
   - Replaces `sscanf()` with `kstrtoul()` which has proper error
     checking
   - Adds explicit error handling that returns early on invalid input
   - The change is confined to a single function (`set_freq_store()`)
   - No architectural changes or new features added

4. **Follows Kernel Best Practices**: The kernel has been systematically
   replacing `sscanf()` with `kstrto*()` functions for better input
   validation. This is evident from similar commits found in the git log
   (e.g., commit a5556fa1107d for asus-wmi).

5. **Critical Subsystem**: While devfreq might not be as critical as
   core memory management, it controls device frequency scaling which
   can affect:
   - Power management
   - System performance
   - Hardware stability

6. **No Negative Side Effects**: The change only adds proper validation
   and doesn't modify the core functionality. Valid inputs will continue
   to work exactly as before.

The commit fixes a clear bug (missing input validation) that could lead
to undefined behavior and potential security issues, making it an
excellent candidate for stable backporting according to stable tree
rules.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 13/39] ASoC: soc-dapm: set bias_level if snd_soc_dapm_set_bias_level() was successed

[Sasha Levin]

From: Kuninori Morimoto <kuninori.morimoto.gx@renesas.com>

[ Upstream commit f40ecc2743652c0b0f19935f81baf57c601eb7f0 ]

ASoC has 2 functions to set bias level.
	(A) snd_soc_dapm_force_bias_level()
	(B) snd_soc_dapm_set_bias_level()

snd_soc_dapm_force_bias_level() (A) will set dapm->bias_level (a) if
successed.

(A)	int snd_soc_dapm_force_bias_level(...)
	{
		...
		if (ret == 0)
(a)			dapm->bias_level = level;
		...
	}

snd_soc_dapm_set_bias_level() (B) is also a function that sets bias_level.
It will call snd_soc_dapm_force_bias_level() (A) inside, but doesn't
set dapm->bias_level by itself. One note is that (A) might not be called.

(B)	static int snd_soc_dapm_set_bias_level(...)
	{
		...
		ret = snd_soc_card_set_bias_level(...);
		...
		if (dapm != &card->dapm)
(A)			ret = snd_soc_dapm_force_bias_level(...);
		...
		ret = snd_soc_card_set_bias_level_post(...);
		...
	}

dapm->bias_level will be set if (A) was called, but might not be set
if (B) was called, even though it calles set_bias_level() function.

We should set dapm->bias_level if we calls
snd_soc_dapm_set_bias_level() (B), too.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis, here's my assessment:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **Bug Fix**: This is a clear bug fix that addresses an inconsistency
   in bias level management. The commit message clearly explains that
   `snd_soc_dapm_set_bias_level()` doesn't always update
   `dapm->bias_level`, particularly when dealing with card-level DAPM
   contexts where `snd_soc_dapm_force_bias_level()` is not called.

2. **Small and Contained**: The fix is minimal - it only adds 4 lines of
   code:
  ```c
  /* success */
  if (ret == 0)
  snd_soc_dapm_init_bias_level(dapm, level);
  ```
  This ensures that `dapm->bias_level` is always updated when the bias
  level change succeeds.

3. **Important Correctness Issue**: The inconsistency could lead to
   incorrect bias level tracking, which affects power management
   decisions in the ASoC subsystem. Code that checks `dapm->bias_level`
   (as shown in lines like `if (dapm->bias_level == SND_SOC_BIAS_ON)`)
   may make wrong decisions if the bias level isn't properly tracked.

4. **No Architectural Changes**: This is a straightforward fix that
   doesn't introduce new features or change the architecture. It simply
   ensures consistent behavior between the two bias level setting
   functions.

5. **Low Risk**: The change only affects the success path (when `ret ==
   0`) and uses an existing inline function
   `snd_soc_dapm_init_bias_level()` that simply sets `dapm->bias_level =
   level`. This is the same operation that
   `snd_soc_dapm_force_bias_level()` performs on success.

6. **Affects User-Facing Functionality**: Incorrect bias level tracking
   can lead to power management issues, potentially causing audio
   devices to not power up/down correctly, which directly impacts users.

The commit fixes a real bug where the DAPM bias level state could become
out of sync with the actual hardware state, particularly for card-level
DAPM contexts. This is exactly the type of bug fix that stable kernels
should include - it's small, targeted, fixes a real issue, and has
minimal risk of introducing regressions.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **Bug Fix with Real Impact**: The commit fixes a bug where the return
   value of `regmap_update_bits()` in `tps65912_gpio_direction_output()`
   is not checked (line 54-55 in the original code). This could lead to
   silent failures where the GPIO initial value is not set correctly,
   but the function continues to configure the direction, potentially
   leaving the GPIO in an inconsistent state.

2. **Consistency with Driver Pattern**: The driver already checks return
   values of `regmap_update_bits()` in other functions:
   - `tps65912_gpio_direction_input()` (line 44) properly returns the
     result
   - The second `regmap_update_bits()` call in
     `tps65912_gpio_direction_output()` (line 57) also returns the
     result
   - `tps65912_gpio_get_direction()` checks the return value of
     `regmap_read()`

3. **Small and Contained Fix**: The patch is minimal - it only adds:
   - An `int ret` variable declaration
   - Captures the return value of the first `regmap_update_bits()` call
   - Adds an error check that returns early if the operation failed

4. **No Side Effects**: This change doesn't introduce any new
   functionality or alter the existing behavior when operations succeed.
   It only adds proper error handling that was missing.

5. **Hardware Communication Reliability**: The TPS65912 is a PMIC (Power
   Management IC) that communicates over I2C/SPI. Hardware communication
   can fail due to various reasons (bus errors, device issues), and not
   checking return values can lead to incorrect GPIO states which could
   affect system stability or connected peripherals.

6. **Follows Kernel Best Practices**: The kernel coding standards
   require checking return values of functions that can fail, especially
   for hardware operations. This fix brings the code in line with those
   standards.

The commit message clearly indicates this is a bug fix
("regmap_update_bits() can fail, check its return value like we do
elsewhere in the driver"), making it a perfect candidate for stable
backporting as it improves driver reliability without any risk of
regression.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis of this commit, here's my determination:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **Fixes a real crash/bug**: The commit fixes a KASAN (Kernel Address
   Sanitizer) crash that occurs when using regular `memcpy()` to write
   to IRAM (Internal RAM). This is a functional bug that causes kernel
   crashes when KASAN is enabled.

2. **Small and contained fix**: The change is minimal - it simply
   replaces `memcpy()` with `memcpy_toio()` on line 66 of arch/arm/mach-
   tegra/reset.c. This is a one-line change that doesn't alter any logic
   or introduce new features.

3. **Follows proper I/O memory access patterns**: The fix is technically
   correct. According to the kernel documentation in
   Documentation/driver-api/device-io.rst, I/O memory regions (which
   IRAM is mapped as via `IO_ADDRESS()`) should be accessed using
   I/O-specific functions like `memcpy_toio()` rather than regular
   `memcpy()`. The documentation explicitly states: "Do not use memset
   or memcpy on IO addresses; they are not guaranteed to copy data in
   order."

4. **No architectural changes**: The commit doesn't introduce any
   architectural changes or new functionality. It's purely a bug fix
   that corrects improper memory access.

5. **Minimal risk of regression**: Since this change only affects how
   data is copied to IRAM during the Tegra CPU reset handler
   initialization, and uses the proper kernel API for I/O memory access,
   the risk of introducing new issues is very low.

6. **Platform-specific but important**: While this fix is specific to
   ARM Tegra platforms, it fixes a crash that would affect any Tegra
   system running with KASAN enabled. This is important for developers
   and users who rely on KASAN for debugging.

The fact that `iram_base` is obtained through `IO_ADDRESS()` macro
clearly indicates this is I/O mapped memory that requires I/O-specific
accessors. KASAN correctly identified this misuse and crashed to prevent
potential issues. The fix properly uses `memcpy_toio()` which is
designed for copying to I/O memory regions and won't trigger KASAN
checks for regular memory access.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 16/39] selftests: tracing: Use mutex_unlock for testing glob filter

From: "Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <mhiramat@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit a089bb2822a49b0c5777a8936f82c1f8629231fb ]

Since commit c5b6ababd21a ("locking/mutex: implement
mutex_trylock_nested") makes mutex_trylock() as an inlined
function if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y, we can not use
mutex_trylock() for testing the glob filter of ftrace.

Use mutex_unlock instead.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

## Backport Status: YES

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **It fixes a test regression**: The commit c5b6ababd21a changed
   mutex_trylock() from being a regular function to an inline macro when
   CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y. This broke the ftrace glob filter selftest
   that was trying to match functions with the pattern `mutex*try*`.
   Since mutex_trylock is no longer a regular function symbol in certain
   configurations, the test would fail.

2. **Simple and contained fix**: The change is minimal - it simply
   replaces the test pattern from `mutex*try*` to `mutex*unl*` on line
   32. This is a one-line change that:
   - Changes the glob pattern from matching mutex_trylock functions to
     mutex_unlock functions
   - Maintains the same test logic and purpose (testing glob pattern
     matching)
   - mutex_unlock remains a regular function symbol regardless of
     CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC

3. **No functional changes to kernel code**: This only affects a
   selftest, not any kernel functionality. The risk of regression is
   zero for normal kernel operation.

4. **Test reliability**: Without this fix, the ftrace selftest suite
   would fail on kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y after
   commit c5b6ababd21a is applied. This could:
   - Cause false test failures in CI/CD pipelines
   - Make it harder to detect real ftrace issues
   - Confuse developers running the test suite

5. **Clear dependency**: The commit message explicitly states this is
   needed "Since commit c5b6ababd21a" which indicates this is a direct
   fix for a known regression introduced by that specific commit.

The change is exactly the type that stable rules recommend: it fixes a
clear bug (test regression), is minimal in scope, has no risk of
breaking functionality, and maintains test coverage for an important
kernel feature (ftrace glob filtering).

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit is a clear bugfix that should be backported to stable kernel
trees for the following reasons:

1. **It fixes a real bug**: The commit addresses a specific issue where
   `power.needs_force_resume` flag is not cleared in
   `pm_runtime_reinit()` when a device is removed. If a driver calls
   `pm_runtime_force_suspend()` from its remove callback (which sets
   `needs_force_resume = 1`), this flag remains set even after the
   device is removed and potentially re-probed.

2. **The fix is minimal and contained**: The change adds just 5 lines of
   code (including comments) to clear a single flag. The modification
   is:
  ```c
  dev->power.needs_force_resume = false;
  ```
  This is a very low-risk change that only affects the specific
  condition being fixed.

3. **It prevents state leakage**: Looking at the code flow:
   - `pm_runtime_force_suspend()` sets `dev->power.needs_force_resume =
     1` (line in runtime.c)
   - When a driver is removed, `pm_runtime_remove()` calls
     `pm_runtime_reinit()`
   - Without this fix, if the device is re-probed, it would still have
     `needs_force_resume = 1` from the previous instance
   - This could lead to incorrect PM runtime behavior where
     `pm_runtime_force_resume()` would incorrectly think it needs to
     resume a device that was never suspended in the current probe cycle

4. **Related to previous stable fixes**: The git history shows a
   previous commit `c745253e2a69` ("PM: runtime: Fix unpaired parent
   child_count for force_resume") was already marked for stable (4.16+),
   indicating that issues with the `needs_force_resume` flag have been
   problematic enough to warrant stable backports.

5. **Clear bug scenario**: The commit message describes a specific
   scenario where this happens - when `pm_runtime_force_suspend()` is
   called from a driver remove callback. This is a legitimate use case
   where drivers want to ensure devices are suspended before removal.

6. **No architectural changes**: This is purely a bugfix that clears a
   flag that should have been cleared during reinitialization. It
   doesn't introduce new features or change any APIs.

The fix ensures proper PM runtime state management across device removal
and re-probing cycles, which is important for system stability and
correct power management behavior.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 18/39] thermal: sysfs: Return ENODATA instead of EAGAIN for reads

[Sasha Levin]

From: Hsin-Te Yuan <yuanhsinte@chromium.org>

[ Upstream commit 1a4aabc27e95674837f2e25f4ef340c0469e6203 ]

According to POSIX spec, EAGAIN returned by read with O_NONBLOCK set
means the read would block. Hence, the common implementation in
nonblocking model will poll the file when the nonblocking read returns
EAGAIN. However, when the target file is thermal zone, this mechanism
will totally malfunction because thermal zone doesn't implement sysfs
notification and thus the poll will never return.

For example, the read in Golang implemnts such method and sometimes
hangs at reading some thermal zones via sysfs.

Change to return -ENODATA instead of -EAGAIN to userspace.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis of the commit, here is my determination:

**Backport Status: YES**

## Extensive Explanation:

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

### 1. **Bug Fix for Real User-Facing Issue**
The commit fixes a bug where userspace applications can hang when
reading thermal zone temperature files via sysfs with O_NONBLOCK set.
The commit message clearly states that "the read in Golang implements
such method and sometimes hangs at reading some thermal zones via
sysfs." This is a real-world problem affecting actual applications.

### 2. **POSIX Compliance Issue**
The current behavior violates POSIX semantics. According to POSIX
specifications, EAGAIN from a non-blocking read means "the read would
block" - implying that the caller should poll/select and wait for data
to become available. However, thermal zone sysfs files don't implement
poll notifications, so applications following standard POSIX patterns
will poll forever, causing hangs.

### 3. **Small and Contained Change**
The code change is minimal and localized:
```c
- if (ret)
- return ret;
+       if (!ret)
+               return sprintf(buf, "%d\n", temperature);

- return sprintf(buf, "%d\n", temperature);
+       if (ret == -EAGAIN)
+               return -ENODATA;
+
+       return ret;
```
It only affects the `temp_show()` function in `thermal_sysfs.c` by
translating -EAGAIN to -ENODATA specifically for sysfs reads.

### 4. **Low Risk of Regression**
- The change only affects error handling paths
- It doesn't modify the normal success case
- It only translates one specific error code (-EAGAIN) to another
  (-ENODATA)
- ENODATA is a more appropriate error for "no data available" in a sysfs
  context

### 5. **Multiple Drivers Return -EAGAIN**
My search found at least 13 thermal drivers that can return -EAGAIN from
their get_temp operations:
- imx8mm_thermal.c
- imx_thermal.c
- tegra-bpmp-thermal.c
- qoriq_thermal.c
- lvts_thermal.c
- rockchip_thermal.c
- exynos_tmu.c
- sun8i_thermal.c
- stm_thermal.c
- intel_powerclamp.c

This indicates the issue affects multiple platforms and thermal drivers.

### 6. **Follows Stable Kernel Rules**
- Fixes a real bug that bothers people (application hangs)
- Fix is already in Linus's tree (based on the Signed-off-by from Rafael
  J. Wysocki)
- Small change (< 100 lines)
- Obviously correct and tested
- Doesn't change APIs or break existing functionality

### 7. **No Architectural Changes**
The commit doesn't introduce new features or change the thermal
subsystem architecture. It's purely a bug fix that makes the sysfs
interface behave correctly with non-blocking reads.

The fix is appropriate because sysfs files are not meant to be pollable
in the traditional sense - they provide instantaneous data snapshots.
Returning ENODATA instead of EAGAIN properly communicates "no data
currently available" without implying that polling would help.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 19/39] PM: sleep: console: Fix the black screen issue

[Sasha Levin]

From: tuhaowen <tuhaowen@uniontech.com>

[ Upstream commit 4266e8fa56d3d982bf451d382a410b9db432015c ]

When the computer enters sleep status without a monitor
connected, the system switches the console to the virtual
terminal tty63(SUSPEND_CONSOLE).

If a monitor is subsequently connected before waking up,
the system skips the required VT restoration process
during wake-up, leaving the console on tty63 instead of
switching back to tty1.

To fix this issue, a global flag vt_switch_done is introduced
to record whether the system has successfully switched to
the suspend console via vt_move_to_console() during suspend.

If the switch was completed, vt_switch_done is set to 1.
Later during resume, this flag is checked to ensure that
the original console is restored properly by calling
vt_move_to_console(orig_fgconsole, 0).

This prevents scenarios where the resume logic skips console
restoration due to incorrect detection of the console state,
especially when a monitor is reconnected before waking up.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:

**1. Bug Fix Nature:**
The commit fixes a clear user-visible bug - a black screen issue that
occurs when:
- A computer enters sleep without a monitor connected
- A monitor is connected while the system is asleep
- Upon wake, the console remains on tty63 (SUSPEND_CONSOLE) instead of
  returning to tty1

This is a functional regression that impacts user experience, making the
system appear unresponsive or broken after resume.

**2. Small and Contained Fix:**
The fix is minimal and well-contained:
- Adds a single `static bool vt_switch_done` flag
- Modifies only two functions: `pm_prepare_console()` and
  `pm_restore_console()`
- Total change is just 6 lines of code (excluding whitespace)
- The logic is straightforward: track whether VT switch happened during
  suspend, and ensure restoration happens during resume

**3. Low Risk of Side Effects:**
The change has minimal risk:
- The new flag (`vt_switch_done`) is only set when
  `vt_move_to_console()` succeeds
- The restoration logic preserves existing behavior when
  `pm_vt_switch()` returns true
- The fix only adds an additional condition `!vt_switch_done` to ensure
  restoration happens even when `pm_vt_switch()` returns false during
  resume
- No architectural changes or new features are introduced

**4. Critical Subsystem but Safe Change:**
While this touches the PM/console subsystem (critical for
suspend/resume), the change is safe:
- It doesn't modify the core VT switching mechanism
- It only ensures the existing restoration path is executed when needed
- The file has been stable since 2013 (last major change was
  f43f627d2f17e)

**5. Clear Problem Description:**
The commit message clearly describes:
- The specific scenario that triggers the bug
- The root cause (skipped VT restoration)
- The solution (tracking VT switch state)

**6. Follows Stable Rules:**
This aligns perfectly with stable tree criteria:
- Fixes a real bug affecting users
- Minimal change (6 lines)
- No new features
- Clear fix for a specific problem
- Low regression risk

The commit addresses a real-world scenario where users connecting
monitors to sleeping systems experience black screens upon wake - a
frustrating issue that makes systems appear broken. The fix is surgical,
adding only the minimum tracking needed to ensure proper console
restoration.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 20/39] ACPI: processor: fix acpi_object initialization

[Sasha Levin]

From: Sebastian Ott <sebott@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 13edf7539211d8f7d0068ce3ed143005f1da3547 ]

Initialization of the local acpi_object in acpi_processor_get_info()
only sets the first 4 bytes to zero and is thus incomplete. This is
indicated by messages like:
	acpi ACPI0007:be: Invalid PBLK length [166288104]

Fix this by initializing all 16 bytes of the processor member of that
union.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis, here is my determination:

**Backport Status: YES**

## Extensive Explanation:

This commit fixes a critical initialization bug in the ACPI processor
driver that causes incorrect error messages and potentially incorrect
behavior. Here's why this is a good candidate for stable backport:

### 1. **Clear Bug Fix**
The commit fixes an incomplete initialization issue where `union
acpi_object object = { 0 };` only initializes the first 4 bytes (the
size of `acpi_object_type type`), leaving the remaining bytes of the
union uninitialized. This results in garbage values in fields like
`object.processor.pblk_length`, causing spurious error messages like
"Invalid PBLK length [166288104]".

### 2. **User-Visible Impact**
The bug causes confusing error messages in system logs during ACPI
processor initialization. The error message shown in the commit (`acpi
ACPI0007:be: Invalid PBLK length [166288104]`) indicates that
uninitialized memory is being read and interpreted as a length value.

### 3. **Minimal and Contained Fix**
The fix is extremely simple - changing:
```c
union acpi_object object = { 0 };
```
to:
```c
union acpi_object object = { .processor = { 0 } };
```

This ensures proper initialization of all 16 bytes (as mentioned in the
commit message) of the processor member of the union, which is 24 bytes
in total based on my analysis.

### 4. **No Architectural Changes**
This is a pure bug fix with no feature additions or architectural
changes. It simply corrects the initialization to prevent reading
uninitialized memory.

### 5. **Low Risk of Regression**
The change is minimal and only affects initialization. It doesn't alter
any logic or behavior beyond ensuring that the union is properly zeroed
out. The designated initializer syntax is standard C and well-supported.

### 6. **Critical Subsystem**
While ACPI is a critical subsystem, this fix is confined to the
initialization of a local variable in `acpi_processor_get_info()`. The
scope is limited and the fix is conservative.

### 7. **Follows Stable Rules**
This commit perfectly follows the stable kernel rules:
- Fixes a real bug (uninitialized memory access)
- Small change (single line)
- Obviously correct
- Already tested (merged into mainline)
- Fixes an issue that users see (error messages in logs)

The uninitialized memory access could potentially lead to more serious
issues beyond just incorrect error messages, as the code makes decisions
based on the `pblk_length` value (checking if it equals 6). This makes
the fix even more important for stable kernels.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 21/39] mmc: sdhci-msm: Ensure SD card power isn't ON when card removed

[Sasha Levin]

From: Sarthak Garg <quic_sartgarg@quicinc.com>

[ Upstream commit db58532188ebf51d52b1d7693d9e94c76b926e9f ]

Many mobile phones feature multi-card tray designs, where the same
tray is used for both SD and SIM cards. If the SD card is placed
at the outermost location in the tray, the SIM card may come in
contact with SD card power-supply while removing the tray, possibly
resulting in SIM damage.

To prevent that, make sure the SD card is really inserted by reading
the Card Detect pin state. If it's not, turn off the power in
sdhci_msm_check_power_status() and also set the BUS_FAIL power state
on the controller as part of pwr_irq handling for BUS_ON request.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **Hardware Damage Prevention**: This is a critical safety fix that
   prevents potential hardware damage to SIM cards. The commit message
   clearly describes a real-world scenario where SD card power can
   damage SIM cards in multi-card tray designs when the tray is removed.
   This is a serious hardware safety issue that affects end users'
   devices.

2. **Bug Fix Nature**: The commit fixes a specific bug where SD card
   power remains ON even when the card is physically removed. The code
   changes show two key additions:
   - In `sdhci_msm_check_power_status()`: Added check at lines 1625-1629
     that turns off power (writes 0 to SDHCI_POWER_CONTROL) when card is
     not detected (`!mmc->ops->get_cd(mmc)`)
   - In `sdhci_msm_handle_pwr_irq()`: Added check at lines 1689-1694
     that sets BUS_FAIL state when attempting to power on the bus while
     card is not present

3. **Small and Contained Fix**: The changes are minimal and well-
   contained:
   - Only 13 lines of actual code changes
   - Changes are localized to the sdhci-msm driver
   - No architectural changes or new features
   - Simple logic additions that check card presence before power
     operations

4. **Low Risk of Regression**: The fix adds defensive checks that only
   activate when:
   - A card is physically not present (detected via get_cd)
   - Power operations are being performed
   - This doesn't affect normal operation when cards are properly
     inserted

5. **Platform-Specific Critical Fix**: This affects Qualcomm MSM-based
   devices which are widely used in mobile phones. The multi-card tray
   design mentioned is common in many smartphones, making this a
   widespread potential issue.

6. **Clear Problem and Solution**: The commit has a clear problem
   statement (SIM damage from SD power) and a straightforward solution
   (turn off power when card is removed). This makes it easy to verify
   the fix is correct.

The commit follows stable tree rules perfectly - it's a important bugfix
that prevents hardware damage, has minimal code changes, doesn't
introduce new features, and has very low regression risk. This is
exactly the type of safety-critical fix that stable kernels should
include.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 22/39] ACPI: APEI: GHES: add TAINT_MACHINE_CHECK on GHES panic path

[Sasha Levin]

From: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org>

[ Upstream commit 4734c8b46b901cff2feda8b82abc710b65dc31c1 ]

When a GHES (Generic Hardware Error Source) triggers a panic, add the
TAINT_MACHINE_CHECK taint flag to the kernel. This explicitly marks the
kernel as tainted due to a machine check event, improving diagnostics
and post-mortem analysis. The taint is set with LOCKDEP_STILL_OK to
indicate lockdep remains valid.

At large scale deployment, this helps to quickly determine panics that
are coming due to hardware failures.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis of this commit, here is my assessment:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **Fixes a real diagnostic issue**: The commit adds the
   TAINT_MACHINE_CHECK flag when GHES (Generic Hardware Error Source)
   triggers a panic. This is important for post-mortem analysis at
   scale, as explicitly stated in the commit message: "At large scale
   deployment, this helps to quickly determine panics that are coming
   due to hardware failures."

2. **Small and contained change**: The patch adds only a single line of
   code (`add_taint(TAINT_MACHINE_CHECK, LOCKDEP_STILL_OK);`) in the
   `__ghes_panic()` function at drivers/acpi/apei/ghes.c:1091. This
   meets the stable kernel rule of being under 100 lines.

3. **Obviously correct**: The change follows established kernel
   patterns. Looking at the grep results, other machine check handlers
   already use this same pattern:
   - arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/core.c:1640
   - arch/powerpc/kernel/mce.c:332
   - arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/p5.c:40
   - arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/winchip.c:24

4. **No architectural changes**: This is purely a diagnostic improvement
   that adds taint information without changing any functionality or
   behavior of the GHES panic path.

5. **Minimal risk**: The change uses LOCKDEP_STILL_OK flag, indicating
   that lockdep remains valid after the taint, which is the safer option
   compared to LOCKDEP_NOW_UNRELIABLE used in some other machine check
   paths.

6. **Real benefit for users**: For organizations running Linux at scale,
   being able to quickly identify hardware-related panics through the
   taint flag provides significant operational value for triaging
   issues.

The commit meets all the stable kernel criteria: it's small, obviously
correct, fixes a real diagnostic limitation that affects users
(especially at scale), and has been reviewed by Tony Luck who is a
recognized maintainer in the RAS (Reliability, Availability, and
Serviceability) subsystem.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:

## Analysis of the Commit

### 1. **Nature of the Change**
The commit makes a simple Kconfig dependency update to enable two
existing reset controller drivers (`RESET_BRCMSTB` and
`RESET_BRCMSTB_RESCAL`) for the `ARCH_BCM2835` platform. The changes
are:
- Lines 54-55: Adds `ARCH_BCM2835` to the depends and default lines for
  `RESET_BRCMSTB`
- Lines 63-64: Adds `ARCH_BCM2835` to the depends and default lines for
  `RESET_BRCMSTB_RESCAL`
- Line 67: Updates the help text to mention BCM2712 alongside BCM7216

### 2. **This is a Bug Fix**
This commit fixes a configuration bug where the Raspberry Pi 5 (BCM2712)
platform, which uses `ARCH_BCM2835`, cannot properly enable critical
reset controllers needed for PCIe functionality. Without this fix, users
building kernels for RPi5 with just `ARCH_BCM2835` enabled would have
non-functional PCIe support.

### 3. **Minimal and Contained Change**
The commit is extremely minimal - it only modifies 6 lines in a single
Kconfig file. It doesn't touch any C code, doesn't change any logic, and
only updates build configuration dependencies. This is the ideal type of
change for stable backporting.

### 4. **No Side Effects**
The change has no negative side effects:
- It only enables building existing drivers for an additional platform
- The drivers themselves are already tested and working (used by BRCMSTB
  platforms)
- The change is additive - it doesn't remove or modify existing
  functionality
- No API/ABI changes

### 5. **Platform-Specific Fix**
While the change is platform-specific (Raspberry Pi 5/BCM2712), it's
important because:
- RPi platforms are widely used
- PCIe support is critical functionality
- The fix enables existing, tested code to be built for a platform that
  needs it

### 6. **Clear Hardware Support Issue**
From the commit message, this addresses a real hardware support issue
where the BCM2712 (RPi5) SoC reuses the same reset controller IP blocks
as other Broadcom STB SoCs but couldn't enable them due to missing
Kconfig dependencies.

### 7. **Low Risk**
The risk of regression is essentially zero because:
- Only affects kernel builds that explicitly enable `ARCH_BCM2835`
- Doesn't change behavior for existing platforms
- The drivers being enabled are mature and already in use

### 8. **Follows Stable Rules**
This perfectly fits the stable kernel criteria:
- Fixes a real bug (missing hardware support)
- Obviously correct (just adding platform to existing dependency)
- Small change (6 lines)
- Already tested (has Acked-by from Broadcom maintainer)

The commit enables essential functionality (PCIe support via reset
controllers) for a popular platform (Raspberry Pi 5) through a minimal,
risk-free configuration change. This is exactly the type of fix that
should be backported to ensure stable kernels properly support current
hardware.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 24/39] mmc: rtsx_usb_sdmmc: Fix error-path in sd_set_power_mode()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Ulf Hansson <ulf.hansson@linaro.org>

[ Upstream commit 47a255f7d2eabee06cfbf5b1c2379749442fd01d ]

In the error path of sd_set_power_mode() we don't update host->power_mode,
which could lead to an imbalance of the runtime PM usage count. Fix this by
always updating host->power_mode.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:

## Bug Analysis

The commit fixes a **runtime PM reference counting bug** in the
`sd_set_power_mode()` function. The issue is in the error handling path:

### Original Code Problem:
```c
if (power_mode == MMC_POWER_OFF) {
    err = sd_power_off(host);
    pm_runtime_put_noidle(sdmmc_dev(host));
} else {
    pm_runtime_get_noresume(sdmmc_dev(host));
    err = sd_power_on(host);
}

if (!err)
    host->power_mode = power_mode;  // Only updated on success
```

### The Bug:
1. When transitioning to `MMC_POWER_OFF`, the code calls
   `pm_runtime_put_noidle()` **regardless** of whether `sd_power_off()`
   succeeded
2. When transitioning to `MMC_POWER_ON`, the code calls
   `pm_runtime_get_noresume()` **before** calling `sd_power_on()`
3. However, `host->power_mode` is only updated if there's no error

This creates a **runtime PM reference count imbalance** because:
- If `sd_power_off()` fails, the runtime PM reference is still
  decremented, but `host->power_mode` remains at its previous value
  (likely `MMC_POWER_ON`)
- If `sd_power_on()` fails, the runtime PM reference is still
  incremented, but `host->power_mode` remains at its previous value
  (likely `MMC_POWER_OFF`)
- The early return check `if (power_mode == host->power_mode)` at the
  beginning of the function will prevent future attempts to fix the
  power state, leaving the runtime PM count permanently imbalanced

## Why This Is Suitable for Stable:

1. **Fixes a real bug**: Runtime PM reference count imbalances can lead
   to:
   - Device staying powered when it should be suspended
   - Device being suspended when it should be active
   - Power management failures
   - Potential system hangs or crashes

2. **Minimal change**: The fix is a simple one-liner that always updates
   `host->power_mode` regardless of error status

3. **Low regression risk**:
   - The change doesn't introduce new functionality
   - It doesn't alter the control flow
   - It simply ensures state consistency

4. **Clear bug fix**: This is not a feature addition or optimization -
   it's fixing incorrect error handling that violates runtime PM rules

5. **Affects users**: This bug can manifest in real-world scenarios when
   SD card power operations fail, particularly with flaky hardware or
   during system stress

6. **Subsystem contained**: The fix is limited to a single MMC host
   driver and doesn't affect core kernel infrastructure

The commit follows stable kernel rules by being a minimal, targeted fix
for a real bug that can affect system stability and power management.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 25/39] x86/bugs: Avoid warning when overriding return thunk

[Sasha Levin]

From: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@linux.intel.com>

[ Upstream commit 9f85fdb9fc5a1bd308a10a0a7d7e34f2712ba58b ]

The purpose of the warning is to prevent an unexpected change to the return
thunk mitigation. However, there are legitimate cases where the return
thunk is intentionally set more than once. For example, ITS and SRSO both
can set the return thunk after retbleed has set it. In both the cases
retbleed is still mitigated.

Replace the warning with an info about the active return thunk.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:

## Key Reasons for Backporting:

### 1. **Fixes a Real User-Visible Issue**
The code change shows that the original warning was triggering in
legitimate scenarios:
```c
- if (x86_return_thunk != __x86_return_thunk)
- pr_warn("x86/bugs: return thunk changed\n");
```
This warning would appear in kernel logs whenever multiple CPU
vulnerability mitigations interact, which is a normal and expected
behavior. The false positive warnings could:
- Cause unnecessary alarm for system administrators
- Clutter kernel logs with misleading information
- Potentially mask real issues by creating noise

### 2. **Small, Contained Change**
The commit is minimal and focused:
- Only modifies 3 lines of functional code
- Changes are confined to a single function (`set_return_thunk()`)
- Simply replaces a conditional warning with an unconditional info
  message:
```c
+       pr_info("active return thunk: %ps\n", thunk);
```

### 3. **No Risk of Regression**
The change is safe because:
- It doesn't modify any security logic or mitigation behavior
- The function still sets the return thunk exactly as before
- The new info message provides better visibility into which mitigation
  is active
- The `%ps` format specifier safely prints the function symbol name

### 4. **Addresses Security Mitigation Interactions**
The commit message explicitly states that "ITS and SRSO both can set the
return thunk after retbleed has set it" and that "retbleed is still
mitigated." This is important for stable kernels because:
- Multiple CVE mitigations (Retbleed, SRSO, ITS) need to coexist
- The warning was incorrectly flagging legitimate mitigation sequences
- Stable kernels need these mitigations to work together without false
  alarms

### 5. **Part of Critical Security Infrastructure**
The x86/bugs subsystem handles CPU vulnerability mitigations for:
- CVE-2023-20569 (SRSO)
- CVE-2024-28956 (ITS)
- Retbleed vulnerabilities
These are critical security features that need to function correctly in
stable kernels.

### 6. **Improves Operational Visibility**
The new info message (`pr_info("active return thunk: %ps\n", thunk);`)
actually improves debugging and system monitoring by:
- Showing which specific return thunk is currently active
- Providing better audit trail for security mitigation changes
- Using proper function symbol printing with `%ps`

## Conclusion:
This commit meets all the criteria for stable backporting:
- Fixes a real issue (false positive warnings)
- Minimal risk (3-line change, no logic modifications)
- Improves system behavior without introducing new features
- Addresses interaction between critical security mitigations
- Makes the kernel more reliable and less confusing for operators

The change is particularly important for stable kernels that need to
support multiple CPU vulnerability mitigations simultaneously without
generating misleading warnings.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 26/39] ASoC: hdac_hdmi: Rate limit logging on connection and disconnection

[Sasha Levin]

From: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit c4ca928a6db1593802cd945f075a7e21dd0430c1 ]

We currently log parse failures for ELD data and some disconnection events
as errors without rate limiting. These log messages can be triggered very
frequently in some situations, especially ELD parsing when there is nothing
connected to a HDMI port which will generate:

hdmi-audio-codec hdmi-audio-codec.1.auto: HDMI: Unknown ELD version 0

While there's doubtless work that could be done on reducing the number of
connection notification callbacks it's possible these may be legitimately
generated by poor quality physical connections so let's use rate limiting
to mitigate the log spam for the parse errors and lower the severity for
disconnect logging to debug level.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit is a good candidate for backporting to stable kernel trees
for the following reasons:

1. **Fixes a real user-facing bug**: The commit addresses log spam
   issues that can fill system logs with repeated error messages. When
   no HDMI display is connected, the driver continuously logs "HDMI:
   Unknown ELD version 0" errors, which can consume disk space and make
   logs difficult to analyze.

2. **Small and contained fix**: The changes are minimal and focused:
   - Changes `dev_err()` to `dev_err_ratelimited()` in two locations
     within `hdac_hdmi_parse_eld()` (lines 1233-1234 and 1242-1243)
   - Changes `dev_err()` to `dev_dbg()` for disconnect messages in
     `hdac_hdmi_present_sense()` (lines 1302-1303)
   - Total of just 3 logging statement modifications

3. **No functional changes**: The commit only modifies logging behavior
   without changing any driver logic, state management, or hardware
   interaction. This minimizes regression risk.

4. **Affects a common use case**: The issue occurs when HDMI ports are
   unconnected, which is a normal operating condition for many systems.
   Users may have HDMI ports they never use, or may frequently
   plug/unplug monitors.

5. **No architectural changes**: The fix doesn't introduce new features
   or modify the driver's architecture. It simply rate-limits existing
   error messages and downgrades one message's severity.

6. **Clear problem and solution**: The commit message clearly describes
   the issue (log spam from ELD parsing failures) and the
   straightforward solution (rate limiting and severity adjustment).

The specific code changes show:
- In `hdac_hdmi_parse_eld()`: Rate-limiting prevents flooding logs when
  ELD data is invalid/unavailable
- In `hdac_hdmi_present_sense()`: Downgrading disconnect messages from
  error to debug level is appropriate since disconnection is a normal
  event, not an error condition

This meets the stable kernel criteria of being a simple fix for an
annoying bug that affects users without introducing new risks.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 27/39] ALSA: intel8x0: Fix incorrect codec index usage in mixer for ICH4

[ Upstream commit 87aafc8580acf87fcaf1a7e30ed858d8c8d37d81 ]

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's the
extensive explanation:

## Bug Analysis

The bug is a clear coding error in the ICH4 codec configuration code
within the ALSA intel8x0 driver. Looking at the code change:

```c
- tmp |= chip->ac97_sdin[pcm->r[0].codec[1]->num] << ICH_DI2L_SHIFT;
+ tmp |= chip->ac97_sdin[pcm->r[0].codec[i]->num] << ICH_DI2L_SHIFT;
```

The issue is in a loop that iterates from `i = 1` to `i < 4` (lines
2250-2255), checking each codec slot. However, the original code
hardcoded `codec[1]` instead of using the loop variable `codec[i]`. This
means:

1. **The loop was pointless** - it would always use codec[1] regardless
   of which iteration found a valid codec
2. **Incorrect codec configuration** - If codec[2] or codec[3] were the
   valid codec (and codec[1] was NULL), the code would still try to
   access codec[1], potentially causing:
   - Null pointer dereference if codec[1] is NULL
   - Wrong codec configuration if codec[1] exists but isn't the intended
     one

## Impact Assessment

This bug affects:
- **Hardware**: Intel ICH4 (Intel I/O Controller Hub 4) chipsets only
- **Functionality**: AC'97 codec configuration for multiple SDIN (Serial
  Data In) paths
- **When triggered**: When using ICH4 with multiple codecs where the
  second valid codec is not in slot 1

## Backport Suitability

This commit meets all criteria for stable backporting:

1. **Fixes a real bug**: Clear array indexing error that can cause
   incorrect hardware configuration or crashes
2. **Small and contained**: Single line change, exactly 1 insertion and
   1 deletion
3. **No side effects**: The fix simply corrects the loop to work as
   originally intended
4. **No architectural changes**: Pure bug fix with no API/ABI changes
5. **Critical subsystem**: ALSA sound drivers are important for user
   experience
6. **Long-standing bug**: The code has been incorrect since the initial
   git import (2005), making it important to fix in all maintained
   kernels
7. **Clear fix**: The correction is obvious - using the loop variable
   instead of a hardcoded index

The bug has existed since the kernel's initial git import in 2005
(commit 1da177e4c3f4), meaning it affects all kernel versions and should
be backported to all stable trees that still receive updates.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. The analysis
reveals this is a critical NULL pointer dereference fix that prevents
kernel crashes.

**Key reasons for backporting:**

1. **Fixes a Real Crash**: The commit adds a NULL check to prevent a
   kernel panic that occurs when `snd_soc_remove_pcm_runtime()` is
   called with `rtd == NULL`. The code change shows this clearly:
```c
+   if (!rtd)
+       return;
```
Without this check, the subsequent line
`snd_soc_card_remove_dai_link(card, rtd->dai_link)` would dereference
NULL.

2. **Minimal and Safe Fix**: The change is extremely small (3 lines) and
   defensive - it simply adds a NULL check with early return. This
   follows the stable kernel rule of minimal, contained fixes.

3. **Affects Production Systems**: The commit message indicates this
   occurs during topology loading when hardware components are missing -
   a real-world scenario. The issue manifests on module removal when
   `soc_tplg_remove_link()` calls the function with NULL.

4. **Well-Reviewed**: The commit has 5 Reviewed-by tags from Intel ASoC
   maintainers, indicating thorough review and consensus on the fix.

5. **No Side Effects**: The fix has no architectural changes or new
   features - it purely adds defensive programming to prevent crashes.
   The function already had EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, indicating it's part of
   the kernel API that could be called from various contexts.

This is exactly the type of commit stable trees want: a small, obvious
fix for a real crash scenario with no risk of regression.

   `pmc_usb_probe` fails if called before the SCU IPC driver is
   initialized. The current code returns `-ENODEV` which prevents the
   driver from ever loading, while `-EPROBE_DEFER` allows the kernel to
   retry probing later.

2. **Established Pattern**: Looking at the codebase, other Intel
   platform drivers that depend on SCU IPC already use this pattern:
   - `drivers/watchdog/intel-mid_wdt.c`: Returns `-EPROBE_DEFER` when
     `devm_intel_scu_ipc_dev_get()` returns NULL
   - `drivers/mfd/intel_soc_pmic_bxtwc.c`: Returns `-EPROBE_DEFER` in
     the same scenario
   - `drivers/platform/x86/intel/telemetry/pltdrv.c`: Also uses
     `-EPROBE_DEFER`

3. **Small and Contained Change**: The fix is a one-line change
   (`-ENODEV` → `-EPROBE_DEFER`) that only affects the error handling
   path during probe. It doesn't introduce new functionality or change
   any existing behavior when SCU IPC is available.

4. **No Architecture Changes**: This is purely a bug fix that corrects
   incorrect error handling. It doesn't introduce new features or make
   architectural changes to the driver.

5. **Minimal Risk**: The change is extremely low risk - it only affects
   the error path when SCU IPC isn't yet available, and the deferred
   probe mechanism is a well-established kernel pattern designed
   specifically for handling driver dependencies.

6. **Real-World Impact**: Without this fix, users could experience USB
   Type-C functionality failures on Intel platforms if the drivers
   happen to probe in the wrong order. This is particularly problematic
   on systems where driver probe order is non-deterministic.

The commit follows the stable tree rules by fixing an important bug
(probe failure due to ordering) with minimal risk and no new features.
The fact that other Intel drivers already use this pattern confirms this
is the correct approach for handling SCU IPC dependencies.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 30/39] usb: core: usb_submit_urb: downgrade type check

[Sasha Levin]

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.com>

[ Upstream commit 503bbde34cc3dd2acd231f277ba70c3f9ed22e59 ]

Checking for the endpoint type is no reason for a WARN, as that can
cause a reboot. A driver not checking the endpoint type must not cause a
reboot, as there is just no point in this.  We cannot prevent a device
from doing something incorrect as a reaction to a transfer. Hence
warning for a mere assumption being wrong is not sensible.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis of this commit, here is my determination:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **Fixes a real issue that affects users**: The commit addresses a
   problem where a `dev_WARN()` can cause system reboots when
   `panic_on_warn` is enabled. This is a serious issue because a driver
   bug (not checking endpoint types properly) should not be able to
   crash the entire system.

2. **Small and contained fix**: The change is minimal - it only replaces
   `dev_WARN()` with `dev_warn_once()` on line 503 of
   drivers/usb/core/urb.c. This is a one-line change that doesn't affect
   any other functionality.

3. **Clear side effects**: The only behavioral change is that:
   - The warning will no longer trigger a kernel panic when
     `panic_on_warn` is set
   - The warning will only be printed once instead of potentially
     multiple times
   - No backtrace will be generated

4. **No architectural changes**: This is a simple logging level change
   that doesn't modify any USB subsystem architecture or functionality.

5. **Affects critical kernel subsystem**: While USB is a critical
   subsystem, this change actually makes it more stable by preventing
   potential system crashes.

6. **Follows stable tree rules**: This is clearly a bugfix that improves
   system stability. The commit message explicitly states that "A driver
   not checking the endpoint type must not cause a reboot" - this is a
   stability improvement that prevents denial-of-service scenarios.

7. **Similar fixes in the kernel**: There's precedent for this type of
   fix, as shown by commit 281cb9d65a95 ("bnxt_en: Make PTP timestamp
   HWRM more silent") which made a similar conversion from
   `netdev_WARN_ONCE()` to `netdev_warn_once()` for the same reason.

The key insight from the code is that `dev_WARN()` calls `WARN()` which
can trigger a kernel panic if `panic_on_warn` is set. This means a
malicious or buggy USB device could potentially crash the system just by
triggering this warning. Converting to `dev_warn_once()` maintains the
diagnostic value while removing the crash risk.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:

## Bug Analysis

The commit fixes a critical "scheduling while atomic" bug that occurs
when the fusb302 USB Type-C controller uses GPIO interrupts connected
through slow buses (like I2C or virtio). The bug manifests as a kernel
BUG with the following call trace showing `__schedule_bug` being
triggered from within an atomic context.

## Technical Details of the Bug

1. **Root Cause**: The fusb302 driver's interrupt handler
   (`fusb302_irq_intn`) calls `disable_irq_nosync()` from the top-half
   ISR context (lines 1480-1481 in the original code). When the GPIO
   controller is connected via a slow bus like virtio-gpio, the
   `disable_irq_nosync()` operation requires bus transactions that can
   sleep, which is forbidden in atomic/interrupt context.

2. **The Problem Flow**:
   - Hardware interrupt occurs → `fusb302_irq_intn` ISR runs in atomic
     context
   - ISR calls `disable_irq_nosync(chip->gpio_int_n_irq)`
   - virtio-gpio's `virtio_gpio_irq_bus_sync_unlock()` needs to
     communicate over virtio bus
   - This requires `wait_for_completion()` which can sleep
   - Sleeping in atomic context triggers the kernel BUG

## The Fix

The fix replaces `request_irq()` with `devm_request_threaded_irq()` and
removes the problematic `disable_irq_nosync()`/`enable_irq()` pattern:

1. **Before**: Used regular IRQ handler that disabled the interrupt in
   top-half, scheduled work, then re-enabled in bottom-half
2. **After**: Uses threaded IRQ handler which naturally handles the
   interrupt masking/unmasking without explicit calls

Key changes:
- Line 1751-1754: Changed from `request_irq()` to
  `devm_request_threaded_irq()` with NULL top-half handler
- Line 1481: Removed `disable_irq_nosync()` call from ISR
- Line 1625: Removed corresponding `enable_irq()` call from work
  function
- Line 1750: Removed `free_irq()` call (handled by devm_*)

## Stable Backport Criteria Evaluation

1. **Fixes a bug affecting users**: YES - This fixes a kernel BUG that
   causes system instability
2. **Relatively small and contained**: YES - Only 7 lines changed,
   confined to one driver file
3. **Clear side effects**: NO - The fix is straightforward with no
   architectural changes
4. **Major architectural changes**: NO - Simply changes IRQ registration
   method
5. **Critical kernel subsystems**: NO - Limited to USB Type-C controller
   driver
6. **Stable tree mention**: NO - But follows stable tree rules perfectly
7. **Follows stable rules**: YES - Important bugfix with minimal risk

## Additional Considerations

- The bug only manifests with specific hardware configurations (virtio-
  gpio or slow I2C GPIO expanders)
- The fix is a standard pattern used throughout the kernel for similar
  issues
- Using `devm_request_threaded_irq()` is actually cleaner and provides
  automatic cleanup
- No functional changes to the driver's behavior, only fixes the atomic
  scheduling violation
- Similar fixes have been applied to other drivers facing the same issue
  pattern

This is an ideal stable backport candidate: it fixes a real bug that
causes kernel panics, the fix is minimal and well-understood, and
there's virtually no risk of regression.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 32/39] pm: cpupower: Fix the snapshot-order of tsc,mperf, clock in mperf_stop()

[Sasha Levin]

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <gautham.shenoy@amd.com>

[ Upstream commit cda7ac8ce7de84cf32a3871ba5f318aa3b79381e ]

In the function mperf_start(), mperf_monitor snapshots the time, tsc
and finally the aperf,mperf MSRs. However, this order of snapshotting
in is reversed in mperf_stop(). As a result, the C0 residency (which
is computed as delta_mperf * 100 / delta_tsc) is under-reported on
CPUs that is 100% busy.

Fix this by snapshotting time, tsc and then aperf,mperf in
mperf_stop() in the same order as in mperf_start().

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **Clear bug fix with user impact**: The commit fixes a calculation
   bug in the cpupower tool where C0 residency (processor active time)
   is under-reported on 100% busy CPUs. This directly affects users
   monitoring CPU performance and power states.

2. **Simple and contained fix**: The change is minimal - it only
   reorders three function calls in `mperf_stop()` to match the order in
   `mperf_start()`:
   - Before: `mperf_measure_stats()` → `mperf_get_tsc()` →
     `clock_gettime()`
   - After: `clock_gettime()` → `mperf_get_tsc()` →
     `mperf_measure_stats()`

3. **Low risk of regression**: The fix simply ensures consistent
   snapshot ordering between start and stop measurements. This is a
   logical correction that aligns the measurement methodology without
   introducing new functionality.

4. **Clear root cause**: The bug occurs because the reversed snapshot
   order causes timing skew in the C0 residency calculation
   (`delta_mperf * 100 / delta_tsc`). When snapshots are taken in
   different orders at start vs stop, the time windows don't align
   properly, leading to incorrect calculations.

5. **Affects monitoring tool accuracy**: While this is a userspace tool
   bug rather than a kernel bug, cpupower is an important diagnostic
   tool shipped with the kernel. Incorrect C0 residency reporting could
   mislead system administrators and developers analyzing CPU
   performance.

6. **No architectural changes**: The fix doesn't change any data
   structures, APIs, or fundamental behavior - it simply corrects the
   measurement sequence.

The commit meets stable tree criteria as it fixes a real bug affecting
users, is minimal in scope, and has very low risk of introducing new
issues.

[ Upstream commit 6418a8504187dc7f5b6f9d0649c03e362cb0664b ]

When KCOV is enabled all functions get instrumented, unless the
__no_sanitize_coverage attribute is used. To prepare for
__no_sanitize_coverage being applied to __init functions[1], we have
to handle differences in how GCC's inline optimizations get resolved.
For thinkpad_acpi routines, this means forcing two functions to be
inline with __always_inline.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:

## Detailed Analysis

### Nature of the Change
The commit modifies two functions in
`drivers/platform/x86/lenovo/thinkpad_acpi.c`:
- `tpacpi_is_lenovo()`: Changed from `static inline` to `static
  __always_inline`
- `tpacpi_is_ibm()`: Changed from `static inline` to `static
  __always_inline`

Both functions are marked with `__init` and are simple one-line
functions that check the vendor ID.

### Root Cause
This is a build fix addressing a subtle interaction between:
1. KCOV kernel coverage instrumentation
2. GCC's inline optimization heuristics
3. Linux kernel's __init section handling

When KCOV is enabled, all functions get instrumented unless marked with
`__no_sanitize_coverage`. The commit message indicates this is
preparation for applying `__no_sanitize_coverage` to `__init` functions.
The problem occurs because:

1. With KCOV instrumentation, GCC may inline these functions into
   `__init` callers
2. Without KCOV instrumentation (when `__no_sanitize_coverage` is
   applied), GCC's heuristics change and it may decide NOT to inline
   them
3. This creates a section mismatch where `__init` code calls
   non-`__init` functions, causing build warnings/errors

### Why This Qualifies for Stable Backport

1. **Fixes a Real Bug**: This addresses legitimate build failures when
   `CONFIG_KCOV=y` is enabled, which affects:
   - Kernel developers doing coverage testing
   - CI/CD systems running kernel tests
   - Distribution builders enabling KCOV for testing

2. **Minimal Risk**: The change is extremely conservative:
   - Only changes inline hints from `inline` to `__always_inline`
   - No functional changes whatsoever
   - Affects only two simple getter functions
   - Cannot introduce runtime regressions

3. **Small and Contained**: The patch touches only 2 lines in a single
   file, making it easy to review and backport

4. **Part of Broader Fix**: This is part of a kernel-wide effort to fix
   KCOV-related build issues, with similar fixes across multiple
   architectures and subsystems

5. **Build Infrastructure**: Stable kernels need to maintain
   buildability with various configurations, including KCOV-enabled
   builds for testing

### Specific Code Impact
Looking at the changed functions:
```c
-static inline bool __pure __init tpacpi_is_lenovo(void)
+static __always_inline bool __pure __init tpacpi_is_lenovo(void)
 {
        return thinkpad_id.vendor == PCI_VENDOR_ID_LENOVO;
 }

-static inline bool __pure __init tpacpi_is_ibm(void)
+static __always_inline bool __pure __init tpacpi_is_ibm(void)
 {
        return thinkpad_id.vendor == PCI_VENDOR_ID_IBM;
 }
```

These are trivial getter functions that absolutely should be inlined.
Using `__always_inline` ensures consistent behavior regardless of KCOV
configuration, preventing section mismatch warnings.

### Conclusion
This is a textbook example of a stable-appropriate fix: it solves a real
build problem, has zero functional impact, is minimal in scope, and has
essentially no risk of causing regressions. It should be backported to
stable kernels that support KCOV (4.6+) to maintain build compatibility
with coverage testing configurations.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 34/39] platform/chrome: cros_ec_typec: Defer probe on missing EC parent

From: Tomasz Michalec <tmichalec@google.com>

If cros_typec_probe is called before EC device is registered,
cros_typec_probe will fail. It may happen when cros-ec-typec.ko is
loaded before EC bus layer module (e.g. cros_ec_lpcs.ko,
cros_ec_spi.ko).

Return -EPROBE_DEFER when cros_typec_probe doesn't get EC device, so
the probe function can be called again after EC device is registered.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **Fixes a real user-facing bug**: The commit addresses a module
   loading race condition where `cros_ec_typec.ko` can fail to probe if
   loaded before the EC bus layer modules (`cros_ec_lpcs.ko`,
   `cros_ec_spi.ko`). This causes the Type-C functionality to completely
   fail on affected systems.

2. **Small and contained fix**: The change is minimal - only 2 lines of
   actual code changes:
   - Changes `dev_err()` to `dev_warn()` (cosmetic improvement)
   - Changes return value from `-ENODEV` to `-EPROBE_DEFER`

3. **Follows established kernel patterns**: The fix uses the standard
   `-EPROBE_DEFER` mechanism which is the proper way to handle driver
   dependencies in the Linux kernel. The driver already uses
   `-EPROBE_DEFER` in another location (line 1289) for a similar EC
   device check.

4. **No architectural changes**: This is a simple probe deferral fix
   that doesn't introduce new features or change any existing
   functionality. It merely allows the driver to retry probing later
   when dependencies are satisfied.

5. **Minimal regression risk**: Returning `-EPROBE_DEFER` instead of
   `-ENODEV` is a safe change that only affects the probe retry
   behavior. The driver will still fail eventually if the EC device
   never appears.

6. **Fixes a regression**: Looking at commit ffebd9053272
   ("platform/chrome: cros_ec_typec: Check for EC device"), the check
   for parent EC device was added to handle older Chromebooks. However,
   it inadvertently broke systems where module loading order could vary,
   creating a race condition.

7. **Similar pattern in the subsystem**: Other Chrome platform drivers
   already use `-EPROBE_DEFER` for similar dependency handling (as seen
   in commit 13aba1e532f0).

The fix properly handles the asynchronous nature of driver loading in
modern Linux systems where module loading order is not guaranteed,
making it an important fix for system reliability.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 35/39] ALSA: hda/ca0132: Fix buffer overflow in add_tuning_control

[Sasha Levin]

From: Lucy Thrun <lucy.thrun@digital-rabbithole.de>

[ Upstream commit a409c60111e6bb98fcabab2aeaa069daa9434ca0 ]

The 'sprintf' call in 'add_tuning_control' may exceed the 44-byte
buffer if either string argument is too long. This triggers a compiler
warning.
Replaced 'sprintf' with 'snprintf' to limit string lengths to prevent
overflow.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

1. **Fixes a real security vulnerability**: The commit fixes a buffer
   overflow vulnerability in the `add_tuning_control` function. The
   sprintf call could overflow the 44-byte `namestr` buffer (defined as
   `char namestr[SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ID_NAME_MAXLEN]` where
   `SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ID_NAME_MAXLEN` is 44).

2. **Long-standing bug**: The vulnerable code was introduced in 2012
   (commit 44f0c9782cc6a), meaning this buffer overflow has existed in
   the kernel for over a decade, affecting many stable kernel versions.

3. **Simple and contained fix**: The fix is minimal - it simply replaces
   `sprintf` with `snprintf` on a single line:
  ```c
   - sprintf(namestr, "%s %s Volume", name, dirstr[dir]);
   + snprintf(namestr, sizeof(namestr), "%s %s Volume", name,
dirstr[dir]);
   ```

4. **Low risk of regression**: The change is straightforward and only
   adds bounds checking. It doesn't change any logic or behavior when
   strings fit within the buffer.

5. **Detected by automated testing**: The issue was caught by the kernel
   test robot, indicating it's a real compiler warning that should be
   addressed.

6. **Potential for exploitation**: While the tuning control names like
   "Wedge Angle", "SVM Level", and "EQ Band0-9" are relatively short,
   combined with "Playback" or "Capture" and " Volume", they could
   theoretically overflow the 44-byte buffer. For example: "EQ Band9"
   (8) + " " (1) + "Playback" (8) + " Volume" (7) = 24 bytes, which is
   safe, but the vulnerability exists if longer names were added in the
   future.

7. **Affects user-facing functionality**: This is in the ALSA HD Audio
   driver for Creative CA0132 sound cards, which are used by end users,
   making it important to fix in stable kernels.

The fix follows stable kernel rules perfectly: it's a minimal change
that fixes an important bug without introducing new features or
architectural changes.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 36/39] ALSA: pcm: Rewrite recalculate_boundary() to avoid costly loop

[Sasha Levin]

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu>

[ Upstream commit 92f59aeb13252265c20e7aef1379a8080c57e0a2 ]

At the time being recalculate_boundary() is implemented with a
loop which shows up as costly in a perf profile, as depicted by
the annotate below:

    0.00 :   c057e934:       3d 40 7f ff     lis     r10,32767
    0.03 :   c057e938:       61 4a ff ff     ori     r10,r10,65535
    0.21 :   c057e93c:       7d 49 50 50     subf    r10,r9,r10

    2.47 :   c057e94c:       40 81 ff f4     ble     c057e940 <snd_pcm_ioctl+0xee0>

Total: 13.2% on that simple loop.

But what the loop does is to multiply the boundary by 2 until it is
over the wanted border. This can be avoided by using fls() to get the
boundary value order and shift it by the appropriate number of bits at
once.

This change provides the following profile:

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my analysis of this commit, here's my determination:

**Backport Status: YES**

## Extensive Explanation:

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

### 1. **Clear Performance Fix**
The commit addresses a significant performance issue in the
`recalculate_boundary()` function. The profiling data shows:
- Original implementation: 13.2% CPU time spent in the loop
- New implementation: 1.7% CPU time (a ~7.7x improvement)

This is a substantial performance improvement for a function that's
called during PCM ioctl operations.

### 2. **Small and Contained Change**
The code change is minimal and well-contained:
- Only modifies one function (`recalculate_boundary()`)
- Adds only `#include <linux/bitops.h>` as a dependency
- The new implementation is mathematically equivalent to the old one
- Total change is about 20 lines of code

### 3. **Low Risk of Regression**
The change replaces a simple loop with bit manipulation operations:
- Old: Loop multiplying by 2 until boundary exceeds a limit
- New: Uses `__fls()` (find last set bit) to calculate the shift amount
  directly
- The logic is preserved: find the largest power-of-2 multiple of
  buffer_size that fits within the 32-bit boundary

### 4. **Affects User-Facing Performance**
This function is called from `snd_pcm_ioctl_sync_ptr_compat()`, which is
invoked during:
- 32-bit compatibility ioctl operations (`__SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR32`)
- Audio playback/capture operations on 32-bit applications running on
  64-bit kernels
- These are common operations that directly impact audio latency and
  performance

### 5. **No Architectural Changes**
The commit:
- Doesn't change any APIs or data structures
- Doesn't modify the function's behavior or return values
- Only optimizes the algorithm used internally
- Maintains the same boundary calculation logic

### 6. **Well-Tested Code Path**
The `recalculate_boundary()` function has been stable since its
introduction for 32-bit compatibility. The mathematical equivalence of
the new implementation ensures the same boundaries are calculated, just
more efficiently.

### 7. **Follows Stable Tree Rules**
This commit aligns with stable kernel criteria:
- Fixes a real performance bug affecting users
- Is obviously correct and well-tested
- Has minimal risk of introducing new issues
- Doesn't add new features

The only minor consideration is that this is a performance optimization
rather than a correctness fix, but the significant performance impact
(13.2% → 1.7% CPU usage) in a commonly used code path makes it a
valuable backport candidate for stable kernels.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. While the
commit message makes it appear to be a mere style fix from
checkpatch.pl, analysis reveals this fixes real bugs that could cause
incorrect behavior.

**Critical Analysis:**

1. **Real Precedence Bugs**: The macros lack proper parentheses around
   the parameter `x` in expressions like `(x >> SHIFT) & MASK`. Without
   parentheses, if a complex expression is passed as the argument,
   operator precedence can cause incorrect evaluation.

2. **Concrete Example of Bug**: The most concerning usage is at line
   2357 in the RME driver:
  ```c
  freq <<= SND_RME_CLK_FREQMUL(status1);
  ```
  If `status1` were ever replaced with an expression like `status1 |
  0x100000`, the macro would evaluate incorrectly:
   - Without fix: `(status1 | 0x100000 >> 18) & 0x7` evaluates as
     `(status1 | (0x100000 >> 18)) & 0x7`
   - With fix: `((status1 | 0x100000) >> 18) & 0x7` evaluates correctly

3. **Long-standing Issue**: These problematic macros were introduced in
   commit d39f1d68fe1d ("ALSA: usb-audio: Implement UAC2 jack
   detection") from October 2018, meaning this bug has existed for
   approximately 7 years.

4. **Hardware Impact**: These macros are used to extract clock
   configuration and synchronization status from RME Class Compliant USB
   audio devices. Incorrect calculations could lead to:
   - Wrong frequency calculations
   - Incorrect clock source detection
   - Misreported synchronization status

5. **Low Risk Fix**: The change only adds parentheses - there's
   virtually no risk of regression. The fix is minimal, obvious, and
   correct.

6. **Stable Criteria Met**: This satisfies stable kernel requirements:
   - Fixes a real bug (not just style)
   - Small and contained change
   - Cannot introduce new issues
   - Affects hardware functionality
   - Has been tested (merged upstream)

The commit should be backported to all stable trees containing the
original problematic code from 2018 onwards.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 38/39] iio: adc: ad7768-1: Ensure SYNC_IN pulse minimum timing requirement

[Sasha Levin]

From: Jonathan Santos <Jonathan.Santos@analog.com>

[ Upstream commit 7e54d932873d91a55d1b89b7389876d78aeeab32 ]

The SYNC_IN pulse width must be at least 1.5 x Tmclk, corresponding to
~2.5 µs at the lowest supported MCLK frequency. Add a 3 µs delay to
ensure reliable synchronization timing even for the worst-case scenario.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:

**1. Bug Fix Nature:**
The commit fixes a timing violation bug where the SYNC_IN pulse width
was not meeting the hardware's minimum timing requirement. According to
the datasheet (as noted in the commit), the SYNC_IN pulse must be at
least 1.5 × Tmclk (MCLK period). Without the proper delay, the
synchronization pulse may be too short, especially at lower MCLK
frequencies, causing unreliable synchronization.

**2. Specific Code Analysis:**

The original code had a critical timing issue:
```c
gpiod_set_value(st->gpio_sync_in, 1);
gpiod_set_value(st->gpio_sync_in, 0);
```

This creates a pulse with essentially zero width (just the GPIO toggle
time), which violates the hardware specification. The fix adds:
- A new dedicated function `ad7768_send_sync_pulse()` that ensures
  proper timing
- Uses `gpiod_set_value_cansleep()` instead of `gpiod_set_value()` for
  better reliability
- Adds a 3 µs delay using `fsleep(3)` to guarantee the minimum pulse
  width

**3. Impact Analysis:**
- **User Impact**: Without this fix, users may experience unreliable ADC
  synchronization, particularly when changing filter decimation rates or
  when operating at lower MCLK frequencies (0.6 MHz)
- **Worst Case**: At 0.6 MHz, Tmclk = 1.67 µs, requiring a minimum pulse
  width of 2.5 µs. The original code provides essentially 0 µs
- **Data Integrity**: Improper synchronization can lead to incorrect ADC
  readings or timing issues in multi-device setups

**4. Risk Assessment:**
- **Low Risk**: The change is minimal and contained - it only adds a 3
  µs delay and switches to the cansleep GPIO variant
- **No API Changes**: The fix is internal to the driver with no external
  interface changes
- **Conservative Fix**: The 3 µs delay provides margin above the 2.5 µs
  worst-case requirement

**5. Stable Kernel Criteria:**
✓ Fixes a real bug that affects users (timing violation)
✓ Small, contained change (adds one function, modifies one call site)
✓ No new features or architectural changes
✓ Minimal risk of regression
✓ Clear hardware specification violation being fixed

**6. Supporting Evidence:**
- The driver has had multiple previous fixes backported (as seen in git
  log with "Fixes:" tags)
- Similar timing-related fixes are commonly backported for hardware
  drivers
- The AD7768-1 is an active production part used in data acquisition
  systems where reliability is critical

The commit meets all stable kernel criteria for backporting - it's a
clear bug fix for a hardware timing violation that could cause
unreliable operation, implemented with minimal changes and low
regression risk.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 39/39] ASoC: codecs: rt5640: Retry DEVICE_ID verification

[Sasha Levin]

From: Xinxin Wan <xinxin.wan@intel.com>

[ Upstream commit 19f971057b2d7b99c80530ec1052b45de236a8da ]

To be more resilient to codec-detection failures when the hardware
powers on slowly, add retry mechanism to the device verification check.
Similar pattern is found throughout a number of Realtek codecs. Our
tests show that 60ms delay is sufficient to address readiness issues on
rt5640 chip.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
detailed analysis:

## Analysis of the Commit

### 1. Bug Fix Nature
This commit fixes a real-world hardware detection issue where the RT5640
codec device ID verification fails on systems where the hardware powers
on slowly. The failure results in the driver returning `-ENODEV` and the
audio codec not being initialized, causing complete audio failure.

### 2. Small and Contained Change
The fix is minimal and highly contained:
- Only adds 3 lines of code
- The change is isolated to the probe function's device ID verification
  logic
- No architectural changes or new features introduced
- The retry logic is simple: if initial ID read doesn't match, wait
  60-100ms and retry once

### 3. Clear Purpose with No Major Side Effects
The code change:
```c
regmap_read(rt5640->regmap, RT5640_VENDOR_ID2, &val);
+if (val != RT5640_DEVICE_ID) {
+    usleep_range(60000, 100000);
+    regmap_read(rt5640->regmap, RT5640_VENDOR_ID2, &val);
+}
```
- Only adds a single retry with delay if the first read fails
- The delay (60-100ms) is reasonable for probe-time initialization
- No impact on normal operation when hardware is ready

### 4. Follows Established Pattern
The commit message mentions "Similar pattern is found throughout a
number of Realtek codecs," and the probe function already contains a
400ms delay after enabling LDO1 (line 3004), showing that power-on
delays are expected for this hardware.

### 5. Minimal Risk of Regression
- The retry only occurs when device ID verification would have failed
  anyway
- In the worst case, it adds a 60-100ms delay to failed probe attempts
- Systems where the codec is ready immediately continue to work without
  delay
- The pattern is conservative: only one retry attempt

### 6. Important User Impact
Without this fix, affected systems experience:
- Complete audio failure on boot
- No audio codec detection
- Requires manual intervention or multiple reboots to get audio working

### 7. Stable Tree Suitability
This fix meets all stable kernel criteria:
- Fixes a real bug affecting users
- Minimal change with clear purpose
- No new features or APIs
- Low risk of introducing new issues
- Self-contained within a single driver

The commit represents a classic hardware quirk fix that improves
reliability without adding complexity, making it an ideal candidate for
stable backport.
