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

stm class: Fix module init return on allocation failure

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-linus branch.

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: Wang Hui john.wanghui@huawei.com Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2021 22:59:16 +0300 Subject: stm class: Fix module init return on allocation failure

In stm_heartbeat_init(): return value gets reset after the first iteration by stm_source_register_device(), so allocation failures after that will, after a clean up, return success. Fix that.
