Hi Jens,

Floppy fixes for the 7.4 merge window, based on your for-7.4/block
branch.

Please pull

The following changes since commit 9690943353cec1690a715e000ba6a74e5139f530:

  block: amiflop: synchronize flush timer before track flush (2026-10-01 08:37:58 -0600)

  floppy: return the drive state flags from the 32-bit FDGETDRVSTAT (2026-10-05 18:59:41 +0400)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Floppy fixes for 7.4

Six fixes for long-standing floppy bugs, most of them found by syzbot
or by race detectors:

- Flush pending work before releasing the IRQ and DMA when no FDC is
  found, from Karl Mehltretter. The work queued by the probe could run
  after the IRQ and DMA were already freed ("work still pending").

- Unregister the platform device when add_disk() fails, from Guangshuo
  Li. The failing drive's device stayed registered after the module
  was unloaded, and reading its sysfs attributes oopsed on freed module
  memory.

- Return early from reset_interrupt() when cont is already NULL, from
  Yang Xiuwei. This fixes the syzbot GPF in reset_interrupt(). I decided
  to take v1 as a partial solution; the full fix will require
  additional rework.

- Replace volatile on command_status with READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() and
  annotate floppy_work_fn and current_type[], from Cen Zhang. No
  functional change.

- Don't keep a pointer to a stack buffer in timeout_message.
  show_floppy() printed it from the interrupt handler after
  request_done() had returned (syzbot KASAN report).

- Copy the drive state flags in the 32-bit FDGETDRVSTAT and
  FDPOLLDRVSTAT. Since 4.13 the compat path returned flags == 0, so
  32-bit fdutils saw every disk as write-protected and never saw a
  disk change.

Tested in QEMU with a floppy test suite (including the compat ioctls
from 32-bit userspace, and fdutils/mtools/dosfstools workflows) on
KASAN and KCSAN kernels, with no new warnings.
