You have sent him a patch that has triggered this response. He used to manually respond to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was created. Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux kernel tree. You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s) as indicated below: - You have marked a patch with a "Fixes:" tag for a commit that is in an older released kernel, yet you do not have a cc: stable line in the signed-off-by area at all, which means that the patch will not be applied to any older kernel releases.

If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received from other developers. thanks, greg k-h's patch email bot

Hi Greg! Just gentle ping, I'm still looking for better solution for serial device lookup in TimeCard driver. Thanks, Vadim

How do you know this is always true? What was the original code attempting to do? It feels like that was wrong to start with if merely moving things around the device tree caused anything to break here. That is not how the driver core is supposed to be used at all. thanks, greg k-h

We provide up to 4 serial ports - GNSS, GNSS2, MAC and NMEA, to user space and we don't want user space to guess which one is which. We do have user space application which relies on symlinks to discover features. We don't use device tree because it's PCIe device with pre-defined functions, so I don't see any other way to get this info and properly create symlinks. Thanks, Vadim > thanks, > > greg k-h

Sorry, I didn't mean "dt", I mean /sys/devices/, there should not be anything "special" about this driver that requires custom symlinks in sysfs. That's for userspace to create in /dev/serial/ as it does today. Please just remove all of this, as it's not a good idea at all. thanks, greg k-h

We have open-source user-space software which relies on them to discover proper devices. If I remove symlinks it will break the software.

What exactly are you trying to represent here that > requires this to be a custom thing? Well, the hardware exposes up to 4 different serial ports for different functions. And only driver knows which feature is attached to which port because of differences in the HW. There is no way for user-space to get this information on it's own. And one more thing, some HW versions expose special attributes in sysfs consumed by the same software. And there are setups with several boards in the system. Currently we separate them by providing different sysfs entries only, the software then figures all details automatically. Thanks, Vadim

Again, export that info to userspace and have it choose, don't create random symlinks in sysfs for your specific policy, that is not what sysfs is for at all. thanks, greg k-h

Yes, that's what I'm thinking about now - export serial ports as another attributes of the device. Thanks, Vadim

The PTP OCP code, in my opinion, needs a lot of love besides the UART part.

The commit b286f4e87e32 ("serial: core: Move tty and serdev to be children of serial core port device") changed the hierarchy of serial port devices and device_find_child_by_name cannot find ttyS* devices because they are no longer directly attached. Add some logic to restore symlinks creation to the driver for OCP TimeCard.
