arm:davinci_all_defconfig fails to build.
include/linux/gpio/driver.h: In function 'gpiochip_populate_parent_fwspec_twocell': include/linux/gpio/driver.h:552:1: error: no return statement in function returning non-void [-Werror=return-type] 552 | }
The problem is caused by commit 8db6a5905e98 ("gpiolib: Add support for the irqdomain which doesn't use irq_fwspec as arg") which is missing its fix, commit 9c6722d85e922 ("gpio: Fix the no return statement warning"). That one is missing a Fixes: tag, providing a good example why such tags are desirable.
Thanks for letting me know, I've now dropped that patch (others complained about it for other reasons) and will push out a -rc2 with that fix.
I did wonder why the offending patch was included, but then I figured that I lost the "we apply too many patches to stable releases" battle, and I didn't want to re-litigate it.
It wasn't that, it was a pre-requisite for patch #2. patch #2 was reworked so we could drop this one.
thanks,
