[ Upstream commit a28206060dc5848a1a2a15b7f6ac6223d869084d ]

Similar to many other Lenovo models with AMD chips, the Lenovo
Yoga Pro 7 14ASP9 (product name 83HN) requires a specific quirk
to ensure internal mic detection. This patch adds a quirk fixing this.

Based on my analysis of the commit and comparison with the similar
historical commits, here is my assessment: **YES** This commit should be
backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons: ## Code
Analysis **1. Nature of the Change:** The commit adds a single quirk
entry for the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14ASP9 (product name "83HN") to the
`yc_acp_quirk_table[]` array in `sound/soc/amd/yc/acp6x-mach.c`. The
change is minimal and contained: ```c + { + .driver_data = &acp6x_card,
+ .matches = { + DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_VENDOR, "LENOVO"), +
DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "83HN"), + } + }, ``` **2. Meets Stable Tree
Criteria:** - **Device ID Addition**: This is explicitly mentioned in
the stable kernel rules as acceptable - "It must either fix a real bug
that bothers people or just add a device ID" - **Under 100 lines**: The
change is only 7 lines with context - **Obviously correct**: The pattern
matches exactly what's used for dozens of other Lenovo models - **Fixes
real user issue**: Internal microphone non-functionality is a clear
hardware regression/bug that affects users **3. Historical Precedent:**
All 5 similar commits provided as examples received "Backport Status:
YES". They all follow the exact same pattern: - Similar commit subjects
mentioning specific Lenovo models - Identical code structure adding DMI
quirk entries - Same commit messages describing microphone functionality
fixes - Several explicitly included `Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org` tags
**4. Risk Assessment:** - **Minimal regression risk**: Adding a quirk
entry cannot break existing functionality - **Contained change**: Only
affects the specific Lenovo model 83HN - **Well-established pattern**:
This quirk mechanism is proven stable across dozens of similar entries
**5. User Impact:** The commit message clearly states this fixes
internal microphone detection on a specific laptop model. Non-functional
audio hardware represents a significant user-facing issue that stable
trees are meant to address. **6. Code Quality:** The change also
includes a minor whitespace fix (replacing spaces with tab for
consistency), showing attention to code quality without introducing
functional changes. This commit perfectly matches the stable tree
criteria: it's a small, safe device ID addition that fixes a real user-
affecting hardware issue with minimal risk of regression.

Based on my analysis of the commit and comparing it to similar commits
that were marked with "Backport Status: YES", I can now provide my
assessment: **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel
trees. **Detailed Analysis:** **Code Changes Analysis:** 1. **Enum
Addition**: The commit adds `ALC287_FIXUP_PREDATOR_SPK_CS35L41_I2C_2` to
the enum list at line 8029, which is a standard pattern for adding new
HDA fixups. 2. **Fixup Implementation**: Lines 9303-9307 add the actual
fixup implementation: ```c [ALC287_FIXUP_PREDATOR_SPK_CS35L41_I2C_2] = {
.type = HDA_FIXUP_FUNC, .v.func = cs35l41_fixup_i2c_two, .chained =
true, .chain_id = ALC255_FIXUP_PREDATOR_SUBWOOFER }; ``` This follows
the exact same pattern as existing CS35L41 fixups in the codebase. 3.
**Device Quirks**: Lines 10444-10446 add three new Acer Helios laptop
models: ```c SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1025, 0x1826, "Acer Helios ZPC",
ALC287_FIXUP_PREDATOR_SPK_CS35L41_I2C_2), SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1025, 0x182c,
"Acer Helios ZPD", ALC287_FIXUP_PREDATOR_SPK_CS35L41_I2C_2),
SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1025, 0x1844, "Acer Helios ZPS",
ALC287_FIXUP_PREDATOR_SPK_CS35L41_I2C_2), ``` **Comparison to Similar
Commits:** This commit is nearly identical in structure and purpose to
Similar Commits #1-4, which were all marked with "Backport Status: YES".
Like those commits: - It adds hardware support for specific laptop
models - Uses existing CS35L41 infrastructure (`cs35l41_fixup_i2c_two`
function) - Chains to existing predator subwoofer fixup
(`ALC255_FIXUP_PREDATOR_SUBWOOFER`) - Makes minimal, contained changes -
Follows established patterns for HDA audio fixups **Backport
Suitability:** 1. **Important Bug Fix**: This enables audio
functionality on specific Acer Helios laptop models that would otherwise
have non-functional speakers 2. **Small and Contained**: The changes are
minimal and isolated to the realtek patch file 3. **Low Risk**: Uses
existing, well-tested CS35L41 and predator subwoofer code paths 4. **No
Architectural Changes**: Simply adds new device IDs and combines
existing fixups 5. **Hardware Enablement**: Essential for users with
these specific laptop models The commit message indicates this adds
support for CS35L41 amplifiers with I2C interface and external boost,
which is critical for proper audio functionality on these laptops.
Without this fix, users would have non-functional speakers on these
specific Acer Helios models. This follows the stable tree criteria
perfectly: it's an important hardware enablement fix with minimal risk
of regression.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.15 096/110] ASoC: intel/sdw_utils: Assign initial value in asoc_sdw_rt_amp_spk_rtd_init()

[Sasha Levin]

From: I Hsin Cheng <richard120310@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 5fb3878216aece471af030b33a9fbef3babd8617 ]

Initialize "ret" with "-EINVAL" to handle cases where "strstr()" for
"codec_dai->component->name_prefix" doesn't find "-1" nor "-2". In that
case "name_prefix" is invalid because for current implementation it's
expected to have either "-1" or "-2" in it. (Maybe "-3", "-4" and so on
in the future.)

Based on my comprehensive analysis of this commit, I can now provide my
backport recommendation: **YES** This commit should be backported to
stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ## Bug Description
and Analysis The commit fixes a critical bug in the
`asoc_sdw_rt_amp_spk_rtd_init()` function in
`sound/soc/sdw_utils/soc_sdw_rt_amp.c`. The issue is that the `ret`
variable is declared but never initialized, and in certain execution
paths, it may be returned uninitialized. ### Specific Problem Details 1.
**Uninitialized Variable Issue**: The `ret` variable is declared on line
193 but never given an initial value. 2. **Problematic Code Path**: In
the `for_each_rtd_codec_dais()` loop (lines 204-209), `ret` is only
assigned a value if `strstr()` finds either "-1" or "-2" in the
`codec_dai->component->name_prefix`. However, if neither condition is
met, `ret` remains uninitialized. 3. **Return of Garbage Value**: When
the function reaches `return ret;` on line 211, if neither condition in
the loop was satisfied, the function returns an uninitialized value,
which could be any random memory content. ### Why This Is a Serious Bug
1. **Unpredictable Behavior**: The function may return success (0) or
failure (non-zero) randomly depending on stack contents, leading to
inconsistent system behavior. 2. **Audio Subsystem Impact**: The
function is used as an `rtd_init` callback for multiple Realtek audio
amplifier codecs (rt1308, rt1316, rt1318, rt1320) as evidenced by the
codec info list in `soc_sdw_utils.c`. 3. **Error Propagation**: The
return value is checked in `asoc_sdw_rtd_init()` and propagated upward -
a garbage positive value would cause audio initialization to fail
unexpectedly. ### Evidence from Code Analysis The function is called via
the `rtd_init` callback mechanism: ```c if
(codec_info->dais[dai_index].rtd_init) { ret =
codec_info->dais[dai_index].rtd_init(rtd, dai); if (ret) return ret; //
Failure propagated upward } ``` The fix correctly initializes `ret =
-EINVAL` to handle the case where the `name_prefix` doesn't contain the
expected "-1" or "-2" suffixes, which indicates an invalid configuration
that should properly return an error. ### Characteristics Supporting
Backport 1. **Clear Bug Fix**: This is a straightforward bug fix with no
new features or architectural changes. 2. **Minimal Risk**: The change
is one line adding initialization - extremely low risk of introducing
regressions. 3. **Wide Hardware Impact**: Affects multiple Realtek audio
amplifier codecs used in Intel SoundWire configurations. 4. **Stable
Tree Compatible**: Bug was introduced in v6.10 (commit 84e0a19adb73d),
making it applicable to stable kernels from v6.10 onward. 5. **Static
Analysis Found**: The bug was found by Coverity static analysis,
indicating it's a real issue that could manifest in practice. 6. **User
Impact**: Audio hardware initialization failures can significantly
impact user experience, especially on laptops and embedded systems using
these codecs. This commit perfectly fits the stable kernel criteria: it
fixes an important bug, has minimal risk, is contained to a specific
subsystem, and addresses undefined behavior that could cause random
failures in audio hardware initialization.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.15 101/110] ALSA: seq: Remove unused snd_seq_queue_client_leave_cells

NO This commit should not be backported to stable kernel trees for
several reasons: **1. This is a code cleanup, not a bug fix** The commit
removes dead code (`snd_seq_queue_client_leave_cells()`) that hasn't
been used since 2018. The commit message explicitly states this function
was already removed from use by commit 85d59b57be59 in 2018, and this
commit is simply cleaning up the unused function definition. This is
purely a maintenance/cleanup change with no functional impact. **2. No
user-visible impact or bug being fixed** The removed function
`snd_seq_queue_client_leave_cells()` was already unused, so removing it
doesn't fix any existing bugs, security issues, or user-reported
problems. The code changes show: - Removal of the function
implementation from `sound/core/seq/seq_queue.c` (lines that iterate
through queues and call `snd_seq_prioq_leave()`) - Removal of the
function declaration from `sound/core/seq/seq_queue.h` **3. Follows
pattern of similar non-backported commits** Looking at the similar
commits provided: - **Similar Commit #1**: Removed superfluous function
call - Status: NO - **Similar Commit #2**: Removed useless function -
Status: NO - **Similar Commit #4**: Removed unused declarations -
Status: NO - **Similar Commit #5**: Code refactoring with no functional
changes - Status: NO Only **Similar Commit #3** was backported (Status:
YES), and that was because it fixed an actual race condition bug that
could cause long stalls, not because it was removing unused code. **4.
Stable tree criteria not met** Stable kernel backports should focus on:
- Important bug fixes that affect users - Security fixes - Critical
functionality issues This commit doesn't meet any of these criteria.
It's purely cosmetic code cleanup that removes dead code without
changing any runtime behavior. **5. Risk vs. benefit analysis** While
the risk of regression is minimal since the function was unused, there's
no benefit to users of stable kernels from this change. Stable trees
should minimize churn and only include changes that provide tangible
benefits to users. The commit represents good housekeeping for the
mainline kernel but doesn't provide the type of user-impacting fix that
justifies inclusion in stable kernel trees.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.15 109/110] ASoC: simple-card-utils: fixup dlc->xxx handling for error case

[Sasha Levin]

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

[ Upstream commit 2b4ce994afca0690ab79b7860045e6883e8706db ]

Current graph_util_parse_dai() has 2 issue for dlc->xxx handling.

1) dlc->xxx might be filled if snd_soc_get_dai_via_args() (A) works.
   In such case it will fill dlc->xxx first (B), and detect error
   after that (C). We need to fill dlc->xxx in success case only.

(A)	dai = snd_soc_get_dai_via_args(&args);
	if (dai) {
		ret = -ENOMEM;
 ^		dlc->of_node  = ...
(B)		dlc->dai_name = ...
 v		dlc->dai_args = ...
(C)		if (!dlc->dai_args)
			goto end;
		...
	}

2) graph_util_parse_dai() itself has 2 patterns (X)(Y) to fill dlc->xxx.
   Both case, we need to call of_node_put(node) (Z) in error case, but we
   are calling it only in (Y) case.

	int graph_util_parse_dai(...)
	{
		...
		dai = snd_soc_get_dai_via_args(&args);
		if (dai) {
			...
 ^			dlc->of_node  = ...
(X)			dlc->dai_name = ...
 v			dlc->dai_args = ...
			...
		}
		...
(Y)		ret = snd_soc_get_dlc(&args, dlc);
		if (ret < 0) {
(Z)			of_node_put(node);
			...
		}
		...
	}

This patch fixup both case. Make it easy to understand, update
lavel "end" to "err", too.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Based
on my analysis of the code changes and kernel repository context, this
is a clear bug fix that addresses serious resource management issues. ##
Detailed Analysis ### **Bug Description and Fix** The commit fixes two
critical resource management bugs in the `graph_util_parse_dai()`
function: 1. **Premature Resource Release**: The code was incorrectly
using `__free(device_node)` for a node that needed to persist beyond the
function scope. Looking at the changes: ```c - struct device_node *node
__free(device_node) = of_graph_get_port_parent(ep); + node =
of_graph_get_port_parent(ep); ``` The `dlc->of_node` field stores this
node pointer for later use by the audio subsystem, but
`__free(device_node)` would automatically call `of_node_put()` when the
variable went out of scope, creating a use-after-free condition. 2.
**Missing Error Path Cleanup**: The original code only called
`of_node_put(node)` in one error path but not in all error scenarios.
The fix ensures proper cleanup: ```c + if (ret < 0) + of_node_put(node);
``` ### **Impact and Severity** - **Use-after-free vulnerability**: The
most serious issue where `dlc->of_node` points to freed memory -
**Reference count leaks**: Improper cleanup leading to resource
exhaustion over time - **Audio subsystem instability**: Can cause
crashes during device initialization or driver unbind/rebind operations
- **Potential security implications**: Use-after-free conditions can
potentially be exploited for privilege escalation ### **Stable Tree
Criteria Met** 1. **Clear regression fix**: Contains proper "Fixes:" tag
referencing commit `419d1918105e` 2. **Critical subsystem**: ASoC
simple-card-utils is widely used across ARM embedded systems for audio
hardware 3. **Real-world impact**: The commit shows testing by users who
reported the issue (`Tested-by:` tags) 4. **Minimal risk**: The fix is
surgical and only addresses the specific resource management issues 5.
**Important bug class**: Use-after-free and resource leaks are exactly
the type of bugs stable trees target ### **Comparison to Similar
Commits** Looking at the historical examples provided, this aligns with
"Similar Commit #4" which was marked as "YES" for backporting - it's a
clear bug fix addressing memory/resource management issues with a
"Fixes:" tag, rather than new features or architectural changes that the
"NO" commits represented. This commit is a textbook example of what
should be backported to stable trees: it fixes serious resource
management bugs in a widely-used subsystem with minimal risk of
regression.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.15 110/110] ASoC: tas2770: Power cycle amp on ISENSE/VSENSE change

[Sasha Levin]

From: Hector Martin <marcan@marcan.st>

[ Upstream commit f529c91be8a34ac12e7599bf87c65b6f4a2c9f5c ]

The ISENSE/VSENSE blocks are only powered up when the amplifier
transitions from shutdown to active. This means that if those controls
are flipped on while the amplifier is already playing back audio, they
will have no effect.

Fix this by forcing a power cycle around transitions in those controls.

Based on my comprehensive analysis of both the commit and the TAS2770
codebase, here is my assessment: **YES** This commit should be
backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons: ## Critical
Functionality Fix The commit addresses a **fundamental hardware
functionality issue** where ISENSE/VSENSE blocks (current/voltage
monitoring) only power up during amplifier state transitions from
shutdown to active. This is a hardware-level limitation that affects the
core operation of the audio codec. ## Speaker Protection System Impact
The code changes reveal this is about **speaker protection**, which is
safety-critical functionality: ```c /bin /bin.usr-is-merged /boot /dev
/etc /home /init /lib /lib.usr-is-merged /lib64 /lost+found /media /mnt
/opt /proc /root /run /sbin /sbin.usr-is-merged /snap /srv /sys /tmp
/usr /var * Powering up ISENSE/VSENSE requires a trip through the
shutdown state. * Do that here to ensure that our changes are applied
properly, otherwise * we might end up with non-functional IVSENSE if
playback started earlier, * which would break software speaker
protection. */ ``` Non-functional IVSENSE/VSENSE breaks software speaker
protection algorithms that prevent hardware damage from
overcurrent/overvoltage conditions. ## Clean, Contained Fix The
implementation is minimal and surgical: - Adds a new `sense_event()`
function with only 12 lines of logic - Modifies DAPM widget definitions
to use `SND_SOC_DAPM_SWITCH_E` instead of `SND_SOC_DAPM_SWITCH` - Forces
a controlled power cycle (shutdown → normal operation) when sense
controls change - No architectural changes or new features ## Historical
Pattern Alignment This follows the **positive backport pattern** seen in
similar commit #2 (tas2562 amp_level fix) and #5 (tas2781 power state
restoration), both marked "Backport Status: YES" for fixing hardware
control issues in TAS codec family. ## Low Regression Risk The fix
operates within existing DAPM event handling framework: -
`SND_SOC_DAPM_PRE_REG`: Forces shutdown before register changes -
`SND_SOC_DAPM_POST_REG`: Restores proper power state after changes -
Uses existing `tas2770_update_pwr_ctrl()` function - No changes to
normal playback paths when sense controls aren't modified ## User-
Affecting Bug Users enabling ISENSE/VSENSE monitoring during active
playback would experience: - Silent failure of speaker protection -
Potential hardware damage risk - Inconsistent behavior depending on
timing of control changes The fix ensures these controls work reliably
regardless of when they're activated, which is essential for proper
codec operation and hardware protection.

I'd agree with that big fat NO - unless it makes your life easier backporting
a big pile of other stuff.
I'm a bit curious about:
  a) How it got picked up by autosel - I'm quite careful not to include
     'fixes' tags to avoid them getting picked up.
  b) Given it's got a big fat no, why is it posted here?

autosel does it's analysis based on LLMs rather than just commit tags.

I was trying to be too smart :)

My scripts got confused by the "YES" later on in the explanation.

Now dropped!

To be fair the bot's conclusions were right; give it a treat.
