Can these all go to 4.13 or would you prefer me to push the first two 4.12? Or what? -- Kalle Valo

Or what? I think you can reasonably argue either way: the second patch does fix a real bug that may or may not lead to an exploitable stack overflow when CONFIG_KASAN is enabled, which would be a reason to put it into 4.12. On the other hand, I have another 20 patches for similar (or worse) stack overflow issues with KASAN that I'm hoping to all get into 4.13 and backported into stable kernel later if necessary, so we could treat this one like the others. The only difference between this and the others is that in rt2x00 it is a regression against 4.11, while the others have all been present for a long time. Arnd

There may be a conflict against patches that are in your tree but not yet in linux-next, as I don't see the warning and also see no reference to rt2800_bbp_read in rt2800lib.h Arnd

This is a textbook example of how to do this the right way! Reviewed-by: Jes Sorensen <jsorensen@fb.com> Jes
I've managed to split up my long patch into a series of reasonble steps now. The first two are required to fix a regression from commit 41977e86c984 ("rt2x00: add support for MT7620"), the rest are just cleanups to have a consistent state across all the register access functions. Arnd
