The older device property API is going to be removed. Replacing the device_add_properties() call with software node API equivalent device_create_managed_software_node(). Fixes: 434b73e61cc6 ("iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Use device properties for pasid-num-bits")Is this really fixing anything ? I am not sure I understand what you would like to achieve with this tag.Right now it's not possible to simply remove the old API because some of the maintainers want to take care of the conversion themselves, but at the same time I also do not want to see any new releases of the kernel that introduce more users for it. That's why it's a fix.
With the assumption that the above clarification is sufficient, applied as 5.14 material, thanks! _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
