gpib: lpvo_usb: fix unintended binding of FTDI 8U232AM devices

2026-03-19T15:15:00+00:00

commit 163cc462dea7d5b75be4db49ca78a2b99c55375e upstream. The LPVO USB GPIB adapter apparently uses an FTDI 8U232AM with the default PID, but this device id is already handled by the ftdi_sio serial driver. Stop binding to the default PID to avoid breaking existing setups with FTDI 8U232AM. Anyone using this driver should blacklist the ftdi_sio driver and add the device id manually through sysfs (e.g. using udev rules).

gpib: Fix memory leak in ni_usb_init()

2026-02-26T23:01:24+00:00

[ Upstream commit b89921eed8cf2d97250bac4be38dbcfbf048b586 ] In ni_usb_init(), if ni_usb_setup_init() fails, the function returns -EFAULT without freeing the allocated writes buffer, leading to a memory leak. Additionally, ni_usb_setup_init() returns 0 on failure, which causes ni_usb_init() to return -EFAULT, an inappropriate error code for this situation. Fix the leak by freeing writes in the error path. Modify ni_usb_setup_init() to return -EINVAL on failure and propagate this error code in ni_usb_init().

gpib: Fix error code in ni_usb_write_registers()

[ Upstream commit 484e62252212c5b5fc62eaee5e4977143cb159c6 ] If ni_usb_receive_bulk_msg() succeeds but without reading 16 bytes, then the error code needs to be set. The current code returns success.

Move the gpib drivers out of staging and into the "real" part of the kernel. This entails: - Remove the gpib Kconfig menu and Makefile build rule from staging. - Remove gpib/uapi from the header file search path in subdir-ccflags of the gpib Makefile - move the gpib/uapi files to include/uapi/linux - Move the gpib tree out of staging to drivers. - Remove the word "Linux" from the gpib Kconfig file. - Add the gpib Kconfig menu and Makefile build rule to drivers Signed-off-by: Dave Penkler Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251117144021.23569-5-dpenkler@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
