Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:51:56 -0400 (EDT) From: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> To: bjorn@...k.no Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-usb@...r.kernel.org, dcbw@...hat.com Subject: Re: [PATCH net,stable 0/3] qmi_wwan: working around 3 serious firmware bugs From: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@...k.no> Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2013 00:57:08 +0200 > This series adds workarounds for 3 different firmware bugs, each > preventing the affected devices from working at all. I therefore > humbly request that these fixes go to stable-3.8 (if still > maintained) and 3.9 (either via net if still possible, or via > stable if not). > > All 3 workarounds are applied to all devices supported by the driver. > Adding quirks for specific devices was considered as an alternative, > but was rejected because we have too little information about the > exact distribution of the buggy firmwares. All we know is that the > same bug shows up in devices from at least 3 different, and presumably > independent, vendors. > > The workarounds have instead been designed to automatically apply > when necessary, and to have as little impact as possible on unaffected > devices. The series has been tested on a number of devices both with > and without these bugs. > > The series should apply cleanly to net/master, net-next/master and > stable/linux-3.8.y Series applied and queued up for -stable, thanks! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
