From: Coly Li colyli@suse.de Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2019 14:14:05 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] bcache: Revert "bcache: use sysfs_match_string() instead of __sysfs_match_string()"
This reverts commit 89e0341af082dbc170019f908846f4a424efc86b.
In drivers/md/bcache/sysfs.c:bch_snprint_string_list(), NULL pointer at the end of list is necessary. Remove the NULL from last element of each lists will cause the following panic,

The simplest way to fix is to revert commit 89e0341af082 ("bcache: use sysfs_match_string() instead of __sysfs_match_string()").
This bug was introduced in Linux v5.2, so this fix only applies to Linux v5.2 is enough for stable tree maintainer.
