Subject: [PATCH] regulator: sgm3804: handle gpiod_get_value_cansleep() error returns
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 08:16:25 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724024625.11057-1-kr494167@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Surendra Singh Chouhan <kr494167@gmail.com>

sgm3804_sync_regcache_state() evaluated !gpiod_get_value_cansleep(...) to
check if the enable GPIOs were down.

gpiod_get_value_cansleep() returns 1 if active, 0 if inactive, and a
negative error code (e.g. -EIO or -EINVAL) on failure. Evaluating
!gpiod_get_value_cansleep(...) treats a negative error code as boolean
false, swallowing GPIO read failures and misinterpreting a failed read as
an active GPIO. This improperly attempts to sync regcache registers
when the IC may be powered down.

Fix this by capturing the return values of gpiod_get_value_cansleep() for
both positive and negative rails and propagating any error immediately.
In addition, replace mutex_init() with devm_mutex_init() in probe().

Fixes: 0c47e1a8cf5d ("regulator: add SGM3804 Dual Output driver")
