This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled driver core: add device probe log helper to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: driver-core-add-device-probe-log-helper.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit aa5372119cc3e64850a2ebeaf59b983572cfa161 Author: Andrzej Hajda <a.hajda@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jul 13 16:43:21 2020 +0200 driver core: add device probe log helper [ Upstream commit a787e5400a1ceeb0ef92d71ec43aeb35b1fa1334 ] During probe every time driver gets resource it should usually check for error printk some message if it is not -EPROBE_DEFER and return the error. This pattern is simple but requires adding few lines after any resource acquisition code, as a result it is often omitted or implemented only partially. dev_err_probe helps to replace such code sequences with simple call, so code: if (err != -EPROBE_DEFER) dev_err(dev, ...); return err; becomes: return dev_err_probe(dev, err, ...); Signed-off-by: Andrzej Hajda <a.hajda@xxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Rafael J.
