Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

When converting to device property API the commit
8b2d3aeeb7ec ("fbtft: Make use of device property API")
mistakenly placed the reading of the first value inside the loop,
that jumps over value after initialization sequence or sleep commands.
Move the above mentioned reading outside of the loop to restore
correct behaviour.
Besides that, we are using pre-increment operation which may lead to
out of the boundary access at the end of sequence. Thus, allocate buffer
with an additional element at the end to prevent out of the boundary
access.

Make sure to use the current alternate setting when verifying the
interface descriptors to avoid binding to an invalid interface.
Failing to do so could cause the driver to misbehave or trigger a WARN()
in usb_submit_urb() that kernels with panic_on_warn set would choke on.

The driver failed to initialise its receive-buffer pointer, something
which could lead to an illegal free on late probe errors.
Fix this by making sure to clear all driver data at allocation.

Fix a general protection fault when accessing the endpoint descriptors
which could be triggered by a malicious device due to missing sanity

The current use of the mode flag SPI_CS_HIGH is fragile: it
overwrites anything already assigned by the SPI core.
Assign ^= SPI_CS_HIGH since we might be active high
already, and that is usually the case with GPIOs used
for chip select, even if they are in practice active low.
Add a comment clarifying why ^= SPI_CS_HIGH is the right
choice here.

The code doesn't compile due to incompatible pointer errors such as
drivers/staging/octeon/ethernet-tx.c:649:50: error:
passing argument 1 of 'cvmx_wqe_get_grp' from incompatible pointer type
This is due to mixing, for example, cvmx_wqe_t with 'struct cvmx_wqe'.
Unfortunately, one can not just revert the primary offending commit, as doing so
results in secondary errors. This is made worse by the fact that the "removed"
typedefs still exist and are used widely outside the staging directory,
making the entire set of "remove typedef" changes pointless and wrong.
Reflect reality and mark the driver as BROKEN.
