Sorry, I have some different ideas...
1. DMA mode should be optional for i2c-imx, because i2c-imx can accept DMA mode not enabled, because it still can work in CPU mode.
If we use return dev_err_probe(), we have to return error at i2c_imx_dma_request() for "some fatal error", it will cause i2c_adapter can not be registered, then kill i2c adapter register.
If we always return 0 at i2c_imx_dma_request(), dev_err_probe will not work forever. So from my point, if DMA is not working well, just output a log to remind now i2c is always
working at CPU mode, we have no DMA, this is enough.
2. when really defer probe, return dev_err_probe will return defer probe directly, but we still need to goto clk_notifier_unregister branch to free irq, clk_notifier_unregister and disable runtime pm.
So we still need more judgement at probe function to handle this.
So I prefer this logic:
ret = i2c_imx_dma_request(i2c_imx, phy_addr);
if (ret) {
if (ret == -EPROBE_DEFER)
goto clk_notifier_unregister;
dev_info(&pdev->dev, "use pio mode\n");
}
