From: Dmitry Osipenko <digetx@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 583b53ece0b0268c542a1eafadb62e3d4b0aab8c ] The driver fails to probe with -EPROBE_DEFER if battery's power supply (charger driver) isn't ready yet and this results in a bit noisy error message in KMSG during kernel's boot up. Let's silence the harmless error message. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Osipenko <digetx@xxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Andrew F.
