I *think* this is what you want to do, replace all of the above codde (including the last if (!pdata) clause) with: if (!pdata) { /* If no platform data passed in, use the default configuration as a base. */ pdata = &u8500_i2c; if (np) /* Further, if we have a DT node, override the default with this */ nmk_i2c_of_probe(np, pdata); } This makes any passed pdata take precedence, else default pdata complemented with DT info. Which is what we want.
