Please include a link to a bug report and include a few lines of the oops or panic directly in the commit log so when users see this problem, they can search for the text and possibly find this fix. > The driver should check whether the DT node corresponding to the > device compatible with it, and load calibration data only from > compatible node. If you read this commit log carefully, it doesn't actually say what this patch *does*. It has some background and this assertion about what drivers *should* do, but it doesn't say what this patch does. Suggest structure like this (flesh out with the relevant DT property names, etc): For PCI ath9k devices, load calibration data only if there is a DT node corresponding to the device with XXX ...
