Subject: Re: [Linux-stm32] [PATCH v9 22/33] counter: Internalize sysfs
 interface code

Hi William,

I was willing to do some testing on this series, on the stm32 counter
drivers, since we released few fixes around them.

I tried to apply this series against current testing branch, with few
patches applied (so it applies cleanly):
- dt-bindings: counter: add interrupt-counter binding
- counter: add IRQ or GPIO based counter
- counter: stm32-timer-cnt: fix ceiling miss-alignment with reload register
- counter: stm32-timer-cnt: fix ceiling write max value
 counter: stm32-timer-cnt: Report count function when SLAVE_MODE_DISABLED


For both the "stm32-lptimer-cnt" and "stm32-timer-cnt" drivers, I get a
warning message and stack dump in "sysfs_emit" when reading the
available functions from sysfs.
I started to do some testing on v8 of this series last week. I didn't
noticed that.

For both the "stm32-lptimer-cnt", there are 2 functions currently I get
1 stack dump. Only the "increase" function is printed correctly.

For the "stm32-timer-cnt", there are 4 functions currently, I get 3
stack dumps. Only the "increase" function is printed correctly

Sample log for "stm32-timer-cnt:

I get similar backtrace with other _available attributes:
$ cat signal0_action_available
$ cat signal1_action_available

Do you think I'm doing something wrong ?

I tested then "quadrature x4" on the timer driver... It seems all fine.

Best regards
Fabrice
