This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
hwmon: (pmbus) Use dev_err_probe() to filter -EPROBE_DEFER error messagesto the 5.10-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: hwmon-pmbus-use-dev_err_probe-to-filter-eprobe_defer.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 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.
Hi,
I'm not sure that this one makes a real sense for backport.
It can't hurt, but it does not fix a real issue, it just voids a potential spurious message.
In my original mail, there is no "stable@" or "fix" or "bug" keywords or "Fixes:" tag. There is also apparently no patch in this backport serie that relies on this patch.
Why has it been selected?
That is essentially how AUTOSEL works. It picks patches based on keywords. I am sure Sasha can provide details.
