If CONFIG_PINCTRL is disabled devm_pinctrl_get returns NULL. But I think this shouldn't be considered an error, so your change is right, just the commit log is not. > diff --git a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-imx.c b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-imx.c > index 54a47b40546f..7e84662fe1c0 100644 > --- a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-imx.c > +++ b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-imx.c > @@ -997,7 +997,7 @@ static int i2c_imx_init_recovery_info(struct imx_i2c_struct *i2c_imx, > struct i2c_bus_recovery_info *rinfo = &i2c_imx->rinfo; > > i2c_imx->pinctrl = devm_pinctrl_get(&pdev->dev); > - if (!i2c_imx->pinctrl || IS_ERR(i2c_imx->pinctrl)) { > + if (IS_ERR(i2c_imx->pinctrl)) { > dev_info(&pdev->dev, "can't get pinctrl, bus recovery not supported\n"); > return PTR_ERR(i2c_imx->pinctrl); > } Side note: I'm not sure, this construct is valid. IIRC PTR_ERR should only be called for values x where IS_ERR(x) is true. Here it is at least surprising that an message hints to a problem but the return code is 0. @Julia: I'm sure coccinelle can find more of those?!
