Commit a5a923038d70 (fbdev: fbcon: Properly revert changes when
vc_resize() failed) started restoring old font data upon failure (of
vc_resize()). But it performs so only for user fonts. It means that the
"system"/internal fonts are not restored at all. So in result, the very
first call to fbcon_do_set_font() performs no restore at all upon
failing vc_resize().

This can be reproduced by Syzkaller to crash the system on the next
invocation of font_get(). It's rather hard to hit the allocation failure
in vc_resize() on the first font_set(), but not impossible. Esp. if
fault injection is used to aid the execution/failure. It was
demonstrated by Sirius:
  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffffffffffff8

Avoid a kernel crash in stifb by providing the correct pointer to the fb_info
struct. Prior to commit e2e0b838a184 ("video/sticore: Remove info field from
STI struct") the fb_info struct was at the beginning of the fb struct.

If the boot logo does not fit, a message is printed, including a wrong
function name prefix.  Instead of correcting the function name (or using
__func__), just use "fbcon", like is done in several other messages.

While at it, modernize the call by switching to pr_info().

The userspace program could pass any values to the driver through
ioctl() interface. If the driver doesn't check the value of pixclock,
it may cause divide-by-zero error.

In sisfb_check_var(), var-&gt;pixclock is used as a divisor to caculate
drate before it is checked against zero. Fix this by checking it
at the beginning.

This is similar to CVE-2022-3061 in i740fb which was fixed by
commit 15cf0b8.

The userspace program could pass any values to the driver through

Although pixclock is checked in savagefb_decode_var(), but it is not
checked properly in savagefb_probe(). Fix this by checking whether
pixclock is zero in the function savagefb_check_var() before
info-&gt;var.pixclock is used as the divisor.

  Also, CLASS_SPD support gets simplified to prepare removal in the

  Furthermore, I2C core now creates a debugfs directory per I2C adapter.
  Current bus driver users were converted to use it.

  Finally, quite some driver updates. Standing out are patches for the

After removal of the legacy EEPROM driver and I2C_CLASS_DDC support in
olpc_dcon there's no i2c client driver left supporting I2C_CLASS_DDC.
Class-based device auto-detection is a legacy mechanism and shouldn't
be used in new code. So we can remove this class completely now.

Pull pwm updates from Thierry Reding:
 "This contains a bunch of cleanups and simplifications across the
  board, as well as a number of small fixes.

  Perhaps the most notable change here is the addition of an API that
  allows PWMs to be used in atomic contexts, which is useful when time-
  critical operations are involved, such as using a PWM to generate IR
  signals.

  Finally, I have decided to step down as PWM subsystem maintainer. Due
  to other responsibilities I have lately not been able to find the time
  that the subsystem deserves and Uwe, who has been helping out a lot
  for the past few years and has many things planned for the future, has
  kindly volunteered to take over. I have no doubt that he will be a
  suitable replacement"

Pull pwm updates from Thierry Reding:
 "This contains a bunch of cleanups and simplifications across the
  board, as well as a number of small fixes.

  Perhaps the most notable change here is the addition of an API that
  allows PWMs to be used in atomic contexts, which is useful when time-
  critical operations are involved, such as using a PWM to generate IR
  signals.

  Finally, I have decided to step down as PWM subsystem maintainer. Due
  to other responsibilities I have lately not been able to find the time
  that the subsystem deserves and Uwe, who has been helping out a lot
  for the past few years and has many things planned for the future, has
  kindly volunteered to take over. I have no doubt that he will be a
  suitable replacement"

Pull fbdev updates from Helge Deller:
 "Three fbdev drivers (~8500 lines of code) removed. The Carillo Ranch
  fbdev driver is for an Intel product which was never shipped, and for
  the intelfb and the amba-clcd drivers the drm drivers can be used
  instead.

  The other code changes are minor: some fb_deferred_io flushing fixes,
  imxfb margin fixes and stifb cleanups.

  Summary:
   - Remove intelfb fbdev driver (Thomas Zimmermann)
   - Remove amba-clcd fbdev driver (Linus Walleij)
   - Remove vmlfb Carillo Ranch fbdev driver (Matthew Wilcox)
   - fb_deferred_io flushing fixes (Nam Cao)
   - imxfb code fixes and cleanups (Dario Binacchi)
   - stifb primary screen detection cleanups (Thomas Zimmermann)"
