commit 57a6ad482af256b2a13de14194fb8f67c1a65f10 upstream.

Fixed commit introduced a possible second call to
set_machine_constraints() and that allocates memory for
rdev-&gt;constraints. Move the allocation to the caller so
it's easier to manage and done once.

commit 11e94f28c3de35d5ad1ac6a242a5b30f4378991a upstream.

Replace the boolean is_smo8500_device variable with an acpi_type enum.

For now this can be either ACPI_GENERIC or ACPI_SMO8500, this is a
preparation patch for adding special handling for the KIOX010A ACPI HID,
which will add a ACPI_KIOX010A acpi_type to the introduced enum.

For stable as needed as precursor for next patch.

commit e67c139c488e84e7eae6c333231e791f0e89b3fb upstream.

For below code, there has chance to cause deadlock in SMP system:
Thread 1:
clk_enable_lock();
pr_info("debug message");
clk_enable_unlock();

Thread 2:
imx_uart_console_write()
	clk_enable()
		clk_enable_lock();

Thread 1:
Acuired clk enable_lock -&gt; printk -&gt; console_trylock_spinning
Thread 2:
console_unlock() -&gt; imx_uart_console_write -&gt; clk_disable -&gt; Acquite clk enable_lock

So the patch is to keep console port clocks always on like
other console drivers.

[ Upstream commit 2ba546ebe0ce2af47833d8912ced9b4a579f13cb ]

At the start of driver initialization, we do not know what bias
setting the bootloader has configured the system for and we only know
for certain the very first time we do a transition.

However, since the initial value of the comparison index is -EINVAL,
this negative value results in an array out of bound access on the
very first transition.

Since we don't know what the setting is, we just set the bias
configuration as there is nothing to compare against. This prevents
the array out of bound access.

NOTE: Even though we could use a more relaxed check of "&lt; 0" the only
valid values(ignoring cosmic ray induced bitflips) are -EINVAL, 0+.

m_can_handle_state_change() is called with the new_state as an argument.

In the switch statements for CAN_STATE_ERROR_ACTIVE, the comment and the

[ Upstream commit 8a68cc0d690c9e5730d676b764c6f059343b842c ]

The left shift of int 32 bit integer constant 1 is evaluated using 32 bit
arithmetic and then assigned to a signed 64 bit variable. In the case where
time_ref-&gt;adapter-&gt;ts_used_bits is 32 or more this can lead to an oveflow.
Avoid this by shifting using the BIT_ULL macro instead.

[ Upstream commit 63fbf8013b2f6430754526ef9594f229c7219b1f ]

There need to enable pclk_gpio when do irq_create_mapping, since it will
do access to gpio controller.

[ Upstream commit 1f492eab67bced119a0ac7db75ef2047e29a30c6 ]

The driver sends Ethernet Management Datagram (EMAD) packets to the
device for configuration purposes and waits for up to 200ms for a reply.
A request is retried up to 5 times.

When the system is under heavy load, replies are not always processed in
time and EMAD transactions fail.

Make the process more robust to such delays by using exponential
backoff. First wait for up to 200ms, then retransmit and wait for up to
400ms and so on.

Fixes: caf7297e7ab5 ("mlxsw: core: Introduce support for asynchronous EMAD register access")
