does not apply to v4.4 nor to v4.7 (and isn't marked stable ???).
I don't understand what you mean here. It did apply, and it was marked
for stable inclusion. It is commit
6f38a8b9a45833495dc878c335c5431cd98a16ed in Linus's tree. Does it break
the build?
drivers/misc/cxl/vphb.c: In function 'cxl_pci_vphb_add':
drivers/misc/cxl/vphb.c:263:9: error: 'pcibios_free_controller_deferred' undeclared
Yes, it does break the build, by calling a function which does not exist in 4.4 or 4.7.
Sorry, the Cc: stable was dropped in the 4.4/4.7 versions, so I didn't see it.
I meant to say "it doesn't build".
You will either have to drop e5767a13d7cb. or you'll also need commit 2dd9c11b9d4
("powerpc/pseries: use pci_host_bridge.release_fn() to kfree(phb)") from upstream.
I didn't check though if that applies (or works) with the older kernels.
I'm going to drop it, thanks for pointing this out, I should have caught
it earlier too...
Should be removed, hopefully all will build properly...
It would've been helpful if Mauricio and I were Cc'd on this, but in any
case I was away for most of last week :)
Looks like I suggested that 2dd9c11b9d4 be Cc: stable on the list but
that didn't quite make it in to the final commit. Probably didn't help
that our patches were then applied to powerpc#fixes in the wrong order...
2dd9c11b9d4 applies cleanly on top of 4.4 and works for me in the cxl
case. Mauricio - any objections from the pseries/dlpar side?
