[PATCH] leds-ot200: Fix error caused by shifted mask

[Christian Gmeiner]

During the development of this driver an in-house register
documentation was used. The last weeks some integration tests
were done and this problem was found. It turned out that
the released register documentation is wrong.

The fix is very simple: shift all masks by one.

Bryan is handling LEDs patches (see ./MAINTAINERS).  Without a cc he
presumably missed this in the lkml flood.

The changelog failed to describe the effects of the bug it fixes.  This
is a grave (and all too common) omission; it makes it difficult for
others to determine whether the patch should be backported into earlier
kernels.

So, please tell us.  And feel free to explain whether you believe the
fix should be backported.

You are right...

~/kernel/linux-3.7.6$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/leds/leds-ot200.c
Bryan Wu <cooloney@gmail.com> (maintainer:LED SUBSYSTEM)
Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> (maintainer:LED SUBSYSTEM)

Next time I will add Bryan to CC

Our customers can control LEDs from userspace via Java, C++ or what every. They
have running/working applications where they want to control led_3 but
led_2 get's
used. I got a bug report in our in-house bug tracker so it would be
great if this patch can make it into 3.7.x series.

OK, could you please update the commit message of this patch and
resubmit it? It's better to submit to -stable tree as well.

[PATCH] leds-ot200: Fix error caused by shifted mask

[Christian Gmeiner]

During the development of this driver an in-house register
documentation was used. The last weeks some integration tests
were done and this problem was found. It turned out that
the released register documentation is wrong.

The fix is very simple: shift all mask by one.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
for how to do this properly.

Thanks... I will inform stable team again if this patch gets into
mainline - hopefully soon.

Is something missing to get this patch mainline?
