This series changes every occurrence of the following pattern:
dsi_host = of_find_mipi_dsi_host_by_node(dsi);
if (!dsi_host) {
dev_err(dev, "failed to find dsi host\n");
return -EPROBE_DEFER;
}
into
dsi_host = of_find_mipi_dsi_host_by_node(dsi);
if (!dsi_host)
return dev_err_probe(dev, -EPROBE_DEFER, "failed to find dsi host\n");
This registers the defer probe reason (so it can later be printed by the
driver core or checked on demand through the devices_deferred file in
debugfs) and prevents errors to be spammed in the kernel log every time
the driver retries to probe, unnecessarily alerting userspace about
something that is a normal part of the boot process.
I have omitted a Fixes: tag in the last patch, for the truly-nt35597
panel, because it predates the dev_err_probe() helper.
Changes in v3:
- Added trailers
- Rebased on next-20240415
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240229-anx7625-defer-log-no-dsi-host-v2-0-00506941049a@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Changes in v2:
- Added patches 2 onwards to fix all occurences of this pattern instead
of just for the anx7625 driver
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240226-anx7625-defer-log-no-dsi-host-v1-1-242b1af31884@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
