SubjectRe: [PATCH 4.9 000/251] 4.9.337-rc1 review
Hi!

These are kCFI fixes, we don't really need them in 4.9:

> Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>
> net: ethernet: ti: Fix return type of netcp_ndo_start_xmit()
> Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>
> hamradio: baycom_epp: Fix return type of baycom_send_packet()
> Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>
> drm/fsl-dcu: Fix return type of fsl_dcu_drm_connector_mode_valid()
> Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>
> drm/sti: Fix return type of sti_{dvo,hda,hdmi}_connector_mode_valid()

This is marked as not-for-stable, and does not fix anything really
bad, just smatch warning:

> Marcus Folkesson <marcus.folkesson@gmail.com>
> HID: hid-sensor-custom: set fixed size for custom attributes

This is quite wrong. Real bug is registering the interrupt before the
device is set up -- it should be fixed by reordering the init code,
not by checking for NULL.

This may turn working config into non-working for someone, as people
now need to enable PWM manually to get fully working driver. I don't
think we want it in stable.

This claims to fix a deadlock, but in turn it calls
cancel_delayed_work_sync from interrupt handler. I don't think that is
good idea.

This one is okay in mainline, but contains wrong error handling in the
4.9 backport. 4.19 seems okay. It needs to "goto out_unlock", not
return directly.
