[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 187/251] mips: avoid explicit UB in assignment of mips_io_port_base

[Sasha Levin]

From: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 12051b318bc3ce5b42d6d786191008284b067d83 ]

The code in question is modifying a variable declared const through
pointer manipulation.  Such code is explicitly undefined behavior, and
is the lone issue preventing malta_defconfig from booting when built
with Clang:

If an attempt is made to modify an object defined with a const-qualified
type through use of an lvalue with non-const-qualified type, the
behavior is undefined.

LLVM is removing such assignments. A simple fix is to not declare
variables const that you plan on modifying.  Limiting the scope would be
a better method of preventing unwanted writes to such a variable.

Further, the code in question mentions "compiler bugs" without any links
to bug reports, so it is difficult to know if the issue is resolved in
GCC. The patch was authored in 2006, which would have been GCC 4.0.3 or
4.1.1. The minimal supported version of GCC in the Linux kernel is
currently 4.6.

For what its worth, there was UB before the commit in question, it just
added a barrier and got lucky IRT codegen. I don't think there's any
actual compiler bugs related, just runtime bugs due to UB.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 234/251] MIPS: Loongson: Fix return value of loongson_hwmon_init

[Sasha Levin]

From: Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@loongson.cn>

[ Upstream commit dece3c2a320b0a6d891da6ff774ab763969b6860 ]

When call function hwmon_device_register failed, use the actual
return value instead of always -ENOMEM.
