Subject: WTF: patch "[PATCH] iio: adc: TI_AM335X_ADC should depend on HAS_DMA" was seriously submitted to be applied to the 4.9-stable tree?
Date: Mon, 09 Jan 2017 09:25:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <148395031421136@kroah.com> (raw)
The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 4.9-stable tree.
I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt.
I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to
<stable@vger.kernel.org> and let me know why this patch should be
applied. Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be
seen again.
thanks,
greg k-h

Subject: [PATCH] iio: adc: TI_AM335X_ADC should depend on HAS_DMA
If NO_DMA=y:
ERROR: "bad_dma_ops" [drivers/iio/adc/ti_am335x_adc.ko] undefined!
Add a dependency on HAS_DMA to fix this.
