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 reStructuredText 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.

We are using pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() function to verify if
the given config directory name matches any existing PCI device,
but we missed to call matching pci_dev_put() to release reference.
While around, also change error code in case of no device match,
to make it more specific than generic formatting error.

Memory allocated with drmm_kzalloc() should not be freed using
kfree(), as it is managed by the DRM subsystem. The memory will
be automatically freed when the associated drm_device is released.
These 3 group pointers are allocated using drmm_kzalloc() in
hw_engine_group_alloc(), so they don't require manual deallocation.

The struct g2h_fence must be explicitly initializated using the
g2h_fence_init() function to avoid trash values in its members,
but we missed to update this helper function with the new member.
To fix that and avoid any future mistakes, memset the whole struct
first, then update remaining non-zero members.

If the device is running older pcode firmware, it is possible that newer
mailbox commands are not supported by it. The sysfs attributes aren't
useful in that case, but we shouldn't fail driver probe because of it.
As of now, it is unknown if we can distinguish unsupported commands before
attempting them. But until we figure out a way to do that, fix the
regressions.
