This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

wifi: wilc1000: revert reset line logic flip

to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...

The filename of the patch is: wifi-wilc1000-revert-reset-line-logic-flip.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.

This patch is expected to introduce a breakage on platforms using a wrong device tree description. After discussing this consequence with wireless and DT people (see this patch RFC in [1]), it has been decided that this is tolerable. However, despite the Fixes tag I have put in the patch, I am not sure it is OK to also introduce this breakage for people just updating their stable kernels ? My opinion here is that they should get this break only when updating to a new kernel release, not stable, so I _would_ keep this patch out of stable trees (currently applied to 6.1, 6.6, 6.7 and 6.8, if I have followed correctly).

No one should ever have anything "break" no matter if they update from a normal release, or a stable release, so this is not a thing. Either it is ok for any release, or none, and needs to be reverted.

thanks,
