As I comment at previous mail: 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.[1] [1]https://lore.kernel.org/imx/AM0PR0402MB39374E34FD6133B5E3D414D7E82F2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Also we don't want to annoy current user without DMA[2] [2] https://lore.kernel.org/imx/20241127-analytic-azure-hamster-727fd8-mkl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ So we make this logic. Anyway we let the I2C controller registered whether DMA is available or not(except defer probe). Ignoring ENODEV and EPROBE_DEFER makes it looks like nothing happened if DMA is defer probed or not enabled(This is an expected). However we still need i2c DMA status is known when meet an unexpected error, so we use dev_err_probe() to print error. > -- > Pengutronix e.K. | > | > Steuerwalder Str. 21 | > http://www.pen/ > gutronix.de%2F&data=05%7C02%7Ccarlos.song%40nxp.com%7Cf0f2b14d05e4 > 4bb9581408dd2027ef82%7C686ea1d3bc2b4c6fa92cd99c5c301635%7C0%7C0% > 7C638702078063818207%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiO > nRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ% > 3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=q355QWfiCHuoREtM4pkuovpn%2F6MeXynD > hrpSEpWeCXk%3D&reserved=0 | > 31137 Hildesheim, Germany | Phone: +49-5121-206917-0 > | > Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: > +49-5121-206917-5555 |
