Subject: [PATCH] regmap: cache: Do not fail silently from regcache_sync calls
Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2014 14:04:14 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1410865454-30102-1-git-send-email-jarkko.nikula@linux.intel.com> (raw)

Call stack of regcache_sync calls may not emit any error message even if
operation was cancelled due an error in I/O driver. One such a silent error
is for instance if I2C bus driver doesn't receive ACK from the I2C device
and returns -EREMOTEIO.

Since many users of regcache_sync() don't check and print the error there is
no any indication that HW registers are potentially out of sync.

I noticed this silent failure when doing commit f4821e8e8e95
("ASoC: rt5640: Do not allow regmap to use bulk read-write operations") but
forgot to send a patch. I was thinking should the error prints be in lower
level, e.g. _regmap_raw_write, but maybe it's good to have sync errors
printed explicitly?
