This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

watchdog: s3c2410_wdt: use exynos_get_pmu_regmap_by_phandle() for PMU regs

to the 6.6-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: watchdog-s3c2410_wdt-use-exynos_get_pmu_regmap_by_ph.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 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.

It doesn't make sense (to me at least) to add this patch and then also add the revert of it to v6.6 stable tree, as it becomes a no-op. The only reason I can think of is it somehow helps with your automated tooling?

This is exactly the reason.

Additionally the hardware (Pixel 6 & gs101 SoC ) which these patches and APIs were added for wasn't merged until v6.8. The revert is also only applicable if the kernel has the corresponding enhancements made to syscon driver to register custom regmaps. See 769cb63166d9 ("mfd: syscon: Add of_syscon_register_regmap() API")

Ok, then we should just drop both, I can do that if you want me to.

thanks,
