[ Upstream commit 928edefbc18cd8433f7df235c6e09a9306e7d580 ]

This looks really unusual to have a 'get_device()' hidden in a 'dev_err()'
call.
Remove it.

While at it add a missing \n at the end of the message.

commit fc9c03ce30f79b71807961bfcb42be191af79873 upstream.

Allow me_cl object to be freed by releasing the reference
that was acquired  by one of the search functions:
__mei_me_cl_by_uuid_id() or __mei_me_cl_by_uuid()

commit 5e4f99a6b788047b0b8a7496c2e0c8f372f6edf2 upstream.

If the serial interface is used, the 8-bit address should be latched using
the rising edge of the WR/FSYNC signal.

This basically means that a CS change is required between the first byte
sent, and the second one.
This change splits the single-transfer transfer of 2 bytes into 2 transfers
with a single byte, and CS change in-between.

Note fixes tag is not accurate, but reflects a point beyond which there
are too many refactors to make backporting straight forward.

We call btt_log_read() twice, once to get the 'old' log entry, and again
to get the 'new' entry. However, we have no use for the 'old' entry, so

<title>platform/x86: alienware-wmi: fix kfree on potentially uninitialized pointer</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 98e2630284ab741804bd0713e932e725466f2f84 upstream.

Currently the kfree of output.pointer can be potentially freeing
an uninitalized pointer in the case where out_data is NULL. Fix this
by reworking the case where out_data is not-null to perform the
ACPI status check and also the kfree of outpoint.pointer in one block
and hence ensuring the pointer is only freed when it has been used.

Also replace the if (ptr != NULL) idiom with just if (ptr).

<title>i2c: dev: Fix the race between the release of i2c_dev and cdev</title>

commit 1413ef638abae4ab5621901cf4d8ef08a4a48ba6 upstream.

The struct cdev is embedded in the struct i2c_dev. In the current code,
we would free the i2c_dev struct directly in put_i2c_dev(), but the
cdev is manged by a kobject, and the release of it is not predictable.
So it is very possible that the i2c_dev is freed before the cdev is
entirely released. We can easily get the following call trace with
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE and CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS enabled.

This is a common issue when using cdev embedded in a struct.
Fortunately, we already have a mechanism to solve this kind of issue.
Please see commit 233ed09d7fda ("chardev: add helper function to
register char devs with a struct device") for more detail.

In this patch, we choose to embed the struct device into the i2c_dev,
and use the API provided by the commit 233ed09d7fda to make sure that
the release of i2c_dev and cdev are in sequence.

This is a common issue when using cdev embedded in a struct.
Fortunately, we already have a mechanism to solve this kind of issue.
Please see commit 233ed09d7fda ("chardev: add helper function to
register char devs with a struct device") for more detail.

In this patch, we choose to embed the struct device into the i2c_dev,
and use the API provided by the commit 233ed09d7fda to make sure that
the release of i2c_dev and cdev are in sequence.

commit 5136ed4fcb05cd4981cc6034a11e66370ed84789 upstream.

There is no code protecting i2c_dev to be freed after it is returned
from i2c_dev_get_by_minor() and using it to access the value which we
already have (minor) isn't safe really.

Avoid using it and get the adapter directly from 'minor'.

commit e6be18f6d62c1d3b331ae020b76a29c2ccf6b0bf upstream.

The call to put_i2c_dev() frees "i2c_dev" so there is a use after
free when we call cdev_del(&amp;i2c_dev-&gt;cdev).

commit 72a71f869c95dc11b73f09fe18c593d4a0618c3f upstream.

I stumbled multiple times over 'return_i2c_dev', especially before the
actual 'return res'. It makes the code hard to read, so reanme the
function to 'put_i2c_dev' which also better matches 'get_free_i2c_dev'.

commit d6760b14d4a1243f918d983bba1e35c5a5cd5a6d upstream.

i2c-dev had never moved away from the older register_chrdev interface to
implement its char device registration. The register_chrdev API has the
limitation of enabling only up to 256 i2c-dev busses to exist.

Large platforms with lots of i2c devices (i.e. pluggable transceivers)
with dedicated busses may have to exceed that limit.
In particular, there are also platforms making use of the i2c bus
multiplexing API, which instantiates a virtual bus for each possible
multiplexed selection.

This patch removes the register_chrdev usage and replaces it with the
less old cdev API, which takes away the 256 i2c-dev bus limitation.
It should not have any other impact for i2c bus drivers or user space.

This patch has been tested on qemu x86 and qemu powerpc platforms with
the aid of a module which adds and removes 5000 virtual i2c busses, as
well as validated on an existing powerpc hardware platform which makes
use of the i2c bus multiplexing API.
i2c-dev busses with device minor numbers larger than 256 have also been
validated to work with the existing i2c-tools.
