The patch spi: Add missing error handling for CS GPIOs has been applied to the spi tree at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From 1723fdec5fcbc4de3d26bbb23a9e1704ee258955 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2019 16:46:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] spi: Add missing error handling for CS GPIOs While devm_gpiod_get_index_optional() returns NULL if the GPIO is not present (i.e. -ENOENT), it may still return other error codes, like -EPROBE_DEFER. Currently these are not handled, leading to unrecoverable failures later in case of probe deferral: gpiod_set_consumer_name: invalid GPIO (errorpointer) gpiod_direction_output: invalid GPIO (errorpointer) gpiod_set_value_cansleep: invalid GPIO (errorpointer) gpiod_set_value_cansleep: invalid GPIO (errorpointer) gpiod_set_value_cansleep: invalid GPIO (errorpointer) Detect and propagate errors to fix this.
