The proposed bug fix hacked the __release_resource function directly, when the bug is in the platform_bus_type code. > 3) I resend a patchset to use platform_devide_add() > 4) 3 series of cleanouts after the help from Rob and Bjorn > 5) Greg adds the series (v5) to his device core tree The series is still wrong. Greg, please drop Ricardo's series. It isn't correct and it will cause breakage. There are two issues that need to be delt with: First, there is the immediate bug fix which should go to Linus before v4.1. I believe my patch handles it correctly. I've included a test case, but I would like to have acks from Rob and Pantelis before merging it. Ricardo's v5 patch 2/4 comes close to solving it, but it still doesn't make the unregister path symmetric with the register path. Second, there is the issue of making devicetree platform_devices request resources. That's harder, and we are *NOT* ready to merge anything. Nor is it a time critical issue. > 6) You complaint that that series can break miss behaved platforms Yes, because it will. > 7) I send a couple of patches that fix your problem and leaves the > window open to blacklist the platforms that miss behave. I've replied to that series. It isn't a good solution either. > > now you send a patch that takes us to back to step 1), and adds some > code that is already merged into gregk's > https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git/tree/drivers/base/platform.c?h=driver-core-testing#n314 My patch is different. In v3 __release_resource was hacked directly. By v5 you were fixing platform_device_{add,del}, which is the right thing, but still isn't symmetric. My patch I think handles the bug fix correctly. > Wouldn't you agree that it will be a better solution to give your > feedback regarding https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/5/246 and fix this > issue together?
