I annotated the changelog with stable@vger.kernel.org since v3.7 since the problem goes back to that time because of the commit quoted in the changelog. The Kconfig allows for the broken config in 3.8-rc8, so I see no risk whatosever in fixing it to prevent specifically that broken combination. But again, it's your subsystem so if you'd like to drop this plainly obvious fix, that's completely your call. > The chipidea maintainer has a big update all queued up in my trees for > 3.10-rc1, if you could verify that linux-next fixes your problem, I > would appreciate it. > As stated, linux-next as of today has this problem. If you have a public git tree with patches that touch this area that are not pushed to linux-next, please send me the location and I'll try the combination stated in the changelog.
