The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 7930742d6a0ff091c85b92ef4e076432d8d8cb79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Mon, 3 May 2021 13:56:49 +0200 Subject: Revert "niu: fix missing checks of niu_pci_eeprom_read" This reverts commit 26fd962bde0b15e54234fe762d86bc0349df1de4. Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were correct or not. Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons below, so it must be reverted. It will be fixed up "correctly" in a later kernel change. The change here was incorrect. While it is nice to check if niu_pci_eeprom_read() succeeded or not when using the data, any error that might have happened was not propagated upwards properly, causing the kernel to assume that these reads were successful, which results in invalid data in the buffer that was to contain the successfully read data.
