Greg,
This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 4.14.72 release. There are 173 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please let me know.
Responses should be made by Wed Sep 26 11:30:10 UTC 2018. Anything received after that time might be too late.
The whole patch series can be found in one patch at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/stable-review/patch-4.14.72-rc1... or in the git tree and branch at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git linux-4.14.y and the diffstat can be found below.
-rc2 is out to resolve some reported problems: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/stable-review/patch-4.14.72-rc2...
-rc2 looks good. There is a problem on dragonboard during boot that was introduced in v4.14.71 that I didn't notice last week. We'll bisect it and report back later this week. dragonboard on the other branches (4.9, 4.18, mainline) looks fine.
As Dan pointed out, during validation, we have bisected this issue on a dragonboard 410c (can't find root device) to the following commit for v4.14:
[1ed3a9307230] rpmsg: core: add support to power domains for devices
There is an on-going discussion on "[PATCH] rpmsg: core: add support to power domains for devices" about this patch having other dependencies and breaking something else on v4.14 as well.
Do you think we could drop this patch, for now, in a possible -rc3 for v4.14.72 ? Dragonboards aren't being tested, because of this, since v4.14.70. Hopefully it isn't too late for this release =).
I can't "drop" it as it is already in a released kernel, 4.14.71 and 4.18.9. I can revert it though, and will do so for the next round of releases after this one.
thanks for the report.
