Subject: [PATCH] serial: 8250_uniphier: Use dev_err_probe() in probe error paths
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 07:45:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918074546.245342-1-malathi.a2000@gmail.com> (raw)
devm_clk_get_enabled() returns -EPROBE_DEFER while the clock provider is
not registered yet, and uniphier_uart_probe() reports that with
dev_err(). Every retry of an intermittently deferred probe therefore
prints "failed to get and enable clock" at error level, which is only
dmesg noise.
Use dev_err_probe() instead: it demotes -EPROBE_DEFER to dev_dbg() and
records the reason for /sys/kernel/debug/devices_deferred. Convert the
other two error messages in probe as well, so the whole function follows
the "return dev_err_probe()" pattern already used by other 8250 drivers
such as 8250_em.c. Those two codes are never -EPROBE_DEFER, so there the
conversion is a readability change only.
Errors other than a deferral are still logged at error level, now with
the error code added by the helper. No functional change otherwise.

This is the follow-up cleanup suggested during review of
[PATCH v2] serial: 8250_uniphier: Use devm_clk_get_enabled()
and it applies on top of that patch: the clock hunk relies on its
context. That fix is not in tty-next as of today, so this one should be
applied after it.
