Subject: Bug 215726 - si2157.c: mention name of the missing firmware file

Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker.

I noticed a regression report in bugzilla.kernel.org that afaics nobody
acted upon since it was reported about a week ago, that's why I decided
to forward it to the lists and all people that seemed to be relevant
here. To quote from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215726 :

> I get the following error messages when trying to use si2157.ko in linux 5.17:
> si2157 13-0060: found a 'Silicon Labs Si2157-A30 ROM 0x50'
> si2157 13-0060: Can't continue without a firmware
> I did work in linux 5.16.16 without a firmware file. Unfortunately the driver does not tell me the name of the missing firmware file.

Could somebody take a look into this? Or was this discussed somewhere
else already? Or even fixed?

Anyway, to get this tracked:

#regzbot introduced: v5.16..v5.17
#regzbot from: [email protected] <[email protected]>
#regzbot title: media: si2157.c: mention name of the missing firmware file
#regzbot link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215726

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I'm getting a lot of
reports on my table. I can only look briefly into most of them and lack
knowledge about most of the areas they concern. I thus unfortunately
will sometimes get things wrong or miss something important. I hope
that's not the case here; if you think it is, don't hesitate to tell me
in a public reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record
straight.

Additional information about regzbot:

If you want to know more about regzbot, check out its web-interface, the
getting start guide, and the references documentation:

https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/regzbot/
https://gitlab.com/knurd42/regzbot/-/blob/main/docs/getting_started.md
https://gitlab.com/knurd42/regzbot/-/blob/main/docs/reference.md

The last two documents will explain how you can interact with regzbot
yourself if your want to.

Hint for reporters: when reporting a regression it's in your interest to
CC the regression list and tell regzbot about the issue, as that ensures
the regression makes it onto the radar of the Linux kernel's regression
tracker -- that's in your interest, as it ensures your report won't fall
through the cracks unnoticed.

Hint for developers: you normally don't need to care about regzbot once
it's involved. Fix the issue as you normally would, just remember to
include 'Link:' tag in the patch descriptions pointing to all reports
about the issue. This has been expected from developers even before
regzbot showed up for reasons explained in
'Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst' and
'Documentation/process/5.Posting.rst'.

Hi Thorsten,

the patch linked in the bugzilla ticket:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/[email protected]/

should indeed fix the issue. The error was that the rom_id and required
fields were swapped in the table, so the non-zero rom_id was taken as a
"true" required boolean value, thus incorrectly evaluating that the
chip requires a firmware file to operate when in fact it does not.

I have tested the patch and found it worked for me. But I do not know
how to push this further along:

Sorry for my inconvenience. I just fixed my device and wanted to share
solution with the "world". I'm not familiar with all kernel development
convention (yet).

@Robert: Do you know which commit causes this regression and could tell
us for a proper Fixes: tag?

Mauro, what's up here? The patch fixes a regression and thus afaics
should quickly find its way towards mainline to get it into the stable
tree, as explained in the (bran new) document linked above.

Just FYI, proper fixes tag usage is described here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html

Hence in this case it should look like this:

Fixes: 1c35ba3bf972 ("media: si2157: use a different namespace for
firmware")

At this point it likely would be good to submit a v2 of the patch with
that Fixes tag, the Tested-by tag from Robert, the CC for stable
backports, and Link: tags linking to all known reports about this
problem (also described in above document), e.g. like this:

Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215726
