In case the firmware is missing we will have the following in the kernel log: 1 | Direct firmware load for intel/sof/sof-tgl-h.ri failed with error -2 2 | error: request firmware intel/sof/sof-tgl-h.ri failed err: -2 3 | you may need to download the firmware from https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin/ 4 | error: failed to load DSP firmware -2 5 | error: sof_probe_work failed err: -2 The first line is the standard, request_firmware() warning. The second and third line is printed in snd_sof_load_firmware_raw() Note that the first and second line is mostly identical. With this patch the log will be changed to: 1 | Direct firmware load for intel/sof/sof-tgl-h.ri failed with error -2 2 | error: sof firmware file is missing, you might need to 3 | download it from https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin/ 4 | error: failed to load DSP firmware -2 5 | error: sof_probe_work failed err: -2 Signed-off-by: Peter Ujfalusi <peter.ujfalusi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Ranjani Sridharan <ranjani.sridharan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Pierre-Louis Bossart <pierre-louis.bossart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- sound/soc/sof/loader.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/sound/soc/sof/loader.c b/sound/soc/sof/loader.c index 2b38a77cd594..46f3900487ee 100644 --- a/sound/soc/sof/loader.c +++ b/sound/soc/sof/loader.c @@ -729,10 +729,10 @@ int snd_sof_load_firmware_raw(struct snd_sof_dev *sdev) ret = request_firmware(&plat_data->fw, fw_filename, sdev->dev); if (ret < 0) { - dev_err(sdev->dev, "error: request firmware %s failed err: %d\n", - fw_filename, ret); dev_err(sdev->dev, - "you may need to download the firmware from https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin/\n"); + "error: sof firmware file is missing, you might need to\n"); + dev_err(sdev->dev, + " download it from https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin/\n"); goto err; } else { dev_dbg(sdev->dev, "request_firmware %s successful\n", -- 2.33.0
