Arm SCMI fixes for v6.12 Couple of fixes to address the issues found and reported on Broadcom STB platforms following the recent refactor of all the SCMI transports as standalone drivers. One of the issue is that the effective timeout value is much less than the intended value due to the way mailbox messages are queues in the mailbox framework. Since we block or serialise the shmem access anyway, there is no point in utilizing mailbox queues. The issue is fixed with exclusive lock on the channel when sending the message. The other issues is actually non-issue for upstream, but the workaround is just changing the link order of the transport drivers which enables Broadcom STB platforms to run both upstream and custom downstream kernel without any device tree changes. So pushing this to help them test upstream seamlessly as it has no practical or theoretical impact for others. There is also a fix to address possible double freeing of the name string in scmi_debugfs_common_cleanup() when devm_add_action_or_reset() fails. * tag 'scmi-fixes-6.12' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sudeep.holla/linux: firmware: arm_scmi: Queue in scmi layer for mailbox implementation firmware: arm_scmi: Give SMC transport precedence over mailbox firmware: arm_scmi: Fix the double free in scmi_debugfs_common_setup() Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241015185128.1000604-1-sudeep.holla@arm.com Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
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.
