This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 4.4.123 release.
There are 134 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response
to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please
let me know.

Responses should be made by Wed Mar 21 17:18:04 UTC 2018.
Anything received after that time might be too late.

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/stable-review/patch-4.4.123-rc1.gz
or in the git tree and branch at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git linux-4.4.y
and the diffstat can be found below.

-rc2 is out to fix a build error that was in -rc1:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/stable-review/patch-4.4.123-rc2.gz

And now -rc3 is out to hopefully resolve the last of the reported
problems:

Almost. For 4.4.122-132-g78a7af7:

Build results:
total: 145 pass: 145 fail: 0
Qemu test results:
total: 127 pass: 125 fail: 2
Failed tests:
powerpc:mpc8544ds:mpc85xx_defconfig
powerpc:mpc8544ds:mpc85xx_smp_defconfig

Error log:
drivers/mtd/nand/fsl_ifc_nand.c: In function 'fsl_ifc_chip_init':
drivers/mtd/nand/fsl_ifc_nand.c:995:23: error: 'FSL_IFC_VERSION_2_0_0' undeclared

Most likely commit 2a39eeb6949c ("mtd: nand: ifc: update bufnum mask for ver >=
2.0.0") doesn't really apply to v4.4 and older kernels.

Yeah, good catch, now dropping this one.

Odd that the Qemu test fails, but the build doesn't?


To conserve energy and time, I don't run a compile-only test if the same image is built
as part of the qemu tests.
