On the next-20260105 I am seeing the following warnings ...
WARNING KERN Driver 'optee-rng' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
WARNING KERN Driver 'scmi-optee' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
WARNING KERN Driver 'tee_bnxt_fw' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
I bisected the first warning and this point to the following
commit ...
# first bad commit: [a707eda330b932bcf698be9460e54e2f389e24b7] tee: Add some helpers to reduce boilerplate for tee client drivers
I have not bisected the others, but guess they are related
to this series. Do you observe the same?
Thanks
Jon
