This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
sfc: suppress duplicate nvmem partition types in efx_ef10_mtd_probeto the 4.20-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...
The filename of the patch is: sfc-suppress-duplicate-nvmem-partition-types-in-efx_.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.20 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.
If you are taking this patch, you also need c65285428b6e sfc: initialise found bitmap in efx_ef10_mtd_probe which fixes bugs in the above patch; I don't currently see it in the stable-queue.
(Also, it's not clear whether the original fix is really needed on stable kernels; while the bug is present there, it is harmless until a v5.0-rc1 commit, probably c4dfa25ab307 ("mtd: add support for reading MTD devices via the nvmem API") interacts with it.)
The above remarks apply to all six stable trees for which this patch has been queued.
