[PATCH 1/2] [RFC] base: soc: Let soc_device_match() return no match when called too early

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If soc_device_match() is called before the SoC bus has been registered,
bus_for_each_dev() returns -EINVAL, which is considered a match, as it
is non-zero.

While calling soc_device_match() can be considered an integration
mistake, returning a match is counter-intuitive: soc_device_match() is
typically used to handle quirks, i.e. to deviate from the default path.
Hence add a check to abort checking and return no match instead.

Should this use WARN_ONCE()?
