The current error handling for calls such as devm_clk_get_enabled() in the adi-axi-dac probe() function means that, if a property such as 'clocks' (for example) is not present in the devicetree when booting a kernel with the driver enabled, the resulting error message will be vague, e.g.: |adi_axi_dac 44a00000.dac: probe with driver adi_axi_dac failed with error -2 Change the devm_clk_get_enabled(), devm_regmap_init_mmio(), and devm_iio_backend_register() checks to use dev_err_probe() with some context for easier debugging. After the change: |adi_axi_dac 44a00000.dac: error -ENOENT: failed to get clock |adi_axi_dac 44a00000.dac: probe with driver adi_axi_dac failed with error -2 Suggested-by: Nuno Sa <nuno.sa@xxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Angelo Dureghello <adureghello@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Trevor Gamblin <tgamblin@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Added Angelo as Tested-by since he tested the patch on an internal setup. --- drivers/iio/dac/adi-axi-dac.c | 9 ++++++--- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/iio/dac/adi-axi-dac.c b/drivers/iio/dac/adi-axi-dac.c index 880d83a014a1..6d56428e623d 100644 --- a/drivers/iio/dac/adi-axi-dac.c +++ b/drivers/iio/dac/adi-axi-dac.c @@ -545,7 +545,8 @@ static int axi_dac_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) clk = devm_clk_get_enabled(&pdev->dev, NULL); if (IS_ERR(clk)) - return PTR_ERR(clk); + return dev_err_probe(&pdev->dev, PTR_ERR(clk), + "failed to get clock\n"); base = devm_platform_ioremap_resource(pdev, 0); if (IS_ERR(base)) @@ -555,7 +556,8 @@ static int axi_dac_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) st->regmap = devm_regmap_init_mmio(&pdev->dev, base, &axi_dac_regmap_config); if (IS_ERR(st->regmap)) - return PTR_ERR(st->regmap); + return dev_err_probe(&pdev->dev, PTR_ERR(st->regmap), + "failed to init register map\n"); /* * Force disable the core.
