Understanding why of_phandle_iterator_next() returns an error can sometimes be hard to decipher based solely on the error message, a typical error example is that #foo-cells = <X> and the phandle property used has a smaller number of cells specified, e.g.: #thermal-sensor-cells = <1>; phandle = <&scmi_sensor> instead of: phandle <&scmi_sensor 0>; Instead, make it clear what the expectations are towards debugging incorrect Device Tree faster: OF: /thermal-zones/scmi-thermal: #thermal-sensor-cells = 1, found 0 instead Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/of/base.c | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/of/base.c b/drivers/of/base.c index 5226e898476e..20e0e7ee4edf 100644 --- a/drivers/of/base.c +++ b/drivers/of/base.c @@ -1350,8 +1350,9 @@ int of_phandle_iterator_next(struct of_phandle_iterator *it) * property data length */ if (it->cur + count > it->list_end) { - pr_err("%pOF: arguments longer than property\n", - it->parent); + pr_err("%pOF: %s = %d found %d\n", + it->parent, it->cells_name, + count, it->cell_count); goto err; } } -- 2.17.1
