From fb4fbc8904e786537e29329d791147389e1465a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephan Gerhold stephan@gerhold.net Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2019 13:41:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: Fix selection of ST_LSM6DS3_ID
At the moment, attempting to probe a device with ST_LSM6DS3_ID (e.g. using the st,lsm6ds3 compatible) fails with:
st_lsm6dsx_i2c 1-006b: unsupported whoami [69]
... even though 0x69 is the whoami listed for ST_LSM6DS3_ID.
This happens because st_lsm6dsx_check_whoami() also attempts to match unspecified (zero-initialized) entries in the "id" array. ST_LSM6DS3_ID = 0 will therefore match any entry in st_lsm6dsx_sensor_settings (here: the first), because none of them actually have all 12 entries listed in the "id" array.
Avoid this by additionally checking if "name" is set, which is only set for valid entries in the "id" array.
Note: Although the problem was introduced earlier it did not surface until commit 52f4b1f19679 ("iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: add support for accel/gyro unit of lsm9ds1") because ST_LSM6DS3_ID was the first entry in st_lsm6dsx_sensor_settings.
Fixes: d068e4a0f921 ("iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: add support to multiple devices with the same settings") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.4 Acked-by: Lorenzo Bianconi lorenzo@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Stephan Gerhold stephan@gerhold.net Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman gregkh@linuxfoundation.org
I don't think that this is needed on anything older than 5.4 because they don't have 801a6e0af0c6 ("iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: add support to LSM6DSO"), the fixes tag might be misleading here a bit.
Correct. I didn't want to use 801a6e0af0c6 ("iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: add support to LSM6DSO") as Fixes tag because that commit did not do anything wrong - the problem was introduced earlier, but there is no way to trigger it on older kernels.
This is why I added # 5.5 to the Cc: stable tag. Are these comments still used in any way? Or is there a better way to encode this into the commit message?
Usually if there's a fixes: tag we'll look at that rather than the version appended to the stable tag.
Consider maybe using two "Fixes:" tags to point at the commits that were involved.
So basically this
Fixes: d068e4a0f921 ("iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: add support to multiple devices with the same settings") Fixes: 52f4b1f19679 ("iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: add support for accel/gyro unit of lsm9ds1")
would mean "fixes the combination of these two commits"?
