From: Pawel Grudzinski <pgrudzinski@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Driver fails to load when there is no external Vref regulator defined, leaving no way to use internal reference. ad5380_probe function tries to obtain regulator with demv_regulator_get and checks for error, in which case it would use internal reference. Even without "Vref" regulator defined devm_regulator_get returns dummy regulator which makes function omit use of internal reference and causes failure on regulator_get_voltage. Replace demv_regulator_get with demv_regulator_get_optional, which returns error instead of dummy regulator if it does not find one which is specified by the caller to make ad5380_probe configure internal reference when no "Vref" regulator is supplied. Signed-off-by: Paweł Grudziński <pgrudzinski@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- There are couple more places where I suspect similar issue with devices having integrated reference, but I am sending this one because I tested it with hardware. If this gets accepted, I will look through other drivers obtaining Vref in same manner. drivers/iio/dac/ad5380.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/iio/dac/ad5380.c b/drivers/iio/dac/ad5380.c index 97d2c51..257d455 100644 --- a/drivers/iio/dac/ad5380.c +++ b/drivers/iio/dac/ad5380.c @@ -401,7 +401,7 @@ static int ad5380_probe(struct device *dev, struct regmap *regmap, if (st->chip_info->int_vref == 2500) ctrl |= AD5380_CTRL_INT_VREF_2V5; - st->vref_reg = devm_regulator_get(dev, "vref"); + st->vref_reg = devm_regulator_get_optional(dev, "vref"); if (!IS_ERR(st->vref_reg)) { ret = regulator_enable(st->vref_reg); if (ret) { -- Best regards, Paweł Grudziński -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
