The patch drivers/regulator: fix a missing check of return value
has been applied to the regulator tree at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From 966e927bf8cc6a44f8b72582a1d6d3ffc73b12ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kangjie Lu <k...@umn.edu> Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2018 23:04:13 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] drivers/regulator: fix a missing check of return value If palmas_smps_read() fails, we should not use the read data in "reg" which may contain random value. The fix inserts a check for the return value of palmas_smps_read(): If it fails, we return the error code upstream and stop using "reg".
