Pull staging updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" set of staging driver changes for 6.17-rc1. That's
  in quotes as it really isn't all that big of a set of changes this
  development cycle at all.

  Major things that stand out are:

   - gpib cleanups and tweaks with the majority of the big issues now
     taken care of. Odds are it will move out of staging/ in the next
     merge window if all goes well.

   - more constant cleanups and layer removals from the rtl8723bs
     driver. It's amazing how many layers deep they really are, all
     cleanups here are great to see

   - axis-fifo sysfs api removed and debugfs api added. The sysfs api
     didn't work at all so obviously no one was using it. Add the same
     information into debugfs as that's the proper place for it, and
     make it actually work.

   - Remaining changes is lots of small checkpatch cleanups, most of
     which seem to have come from a Debconf session where people were
     encouraged to submit their first kernel patch, a nice thing to see
     happen again.

  All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues"

staging: gpib: Fix error code in board_type_ioctl()

2025-07-09T11:11:17+00:00

When copy_from_user() fails it return number of bytes it wasn't able to
copy. So the correct return value when copy_from_user() fails is
-EFAULT.

staging: gpib: fix unset padding field copy back to userspace

2025-06-30T17:13:54+00:00

The introduction of a padding field in the gpib_board_info_ioctl is
showing up as initialized data on the stack frame being copyied back
to userspace in function board_info_ioctl. The simplest fix is to
initialize the entire struct to zero to ensure all unassigned padding
fields are zero'd before being copied back to userspace.

 "Here is the "big" set of staging driver changes for 6.16-rc1. Included
  in here are:

     This subsystem is _almost_ ready to be merged into the main portion

   - sm750fb driver cleanups

   - rtl8723bs driver cleanups

   - other small driver cleanups for coding style issues

  All of these have been in for over 2 weeks with no reported issues"

staging: gpib: Add return value to request_control

2025-04-18T14:49:00+00:00

A number of drivers are unable to release control due to hardware or
software limitations. As request_system_control was defined as void,
no error could be signalled.

This patch changes the prototype of request_system_control to int and
adds the appropriate checking and returns. In the case that a board
cannot release control EINVAL is returned.  If a driver does not
implement request_system_control EPERM is returned.

In general, a pointer, or a struct that has elements that can reasonably be
directly accessed should never be a typedef.
