Subject: [PATCH v5 1/4] pps: clients: gpio: propagate probe error codes
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 10:30:48 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922103051.5257-2-farbere@amazon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922103051.5257-1-farbere@amazon.com>
On the two probe error paths that map and request the interrupt, probe
overwrote the error from gpiod_to_irq() and request_threaded_irq() with a
hardcoded -EINVAL, hiding meaningful codes such as -EBUSY, -ENOMEM or
-EPROBE_DEFER from the caller. The request_threaded_irq() failure message
also logged the IRQ number but not the errno.
Switch both paths to dev_err_probe() so the actual error code is returned
and logged symbolically, and so a repeated -EPROBE_DEFER during boot is
logged at debug level rather than spamming the console. This also matches
pps_gpio_setup() in the same file, which already uses dev_err_probe().
Fixes: 161520451dfa ("pps: new client driver using GPIO")

Changes in v5:
- Use dev_err_probe() on both error paths instead of dev_err() + return,
so a propagated -EPROBE_DEFER is logged at debug level (no console spam
on repeated deferral) and the code is emitted symbolically. This also
matches pps_gpio_setup() in the same file. Drop Bartosz Golaszewski's
Reviewed-by as the patch changed materially
Changes in v4:
- Add Fixes: 161520451dfa ("pps: new client driver using GPIO") and
Bartosz Golaszewski's Reviewed-by. The hardcoded -EINVAL on both error
paths predates 4461d65176b4 (which only switched gpio_to_irq() to
gpiod_to_irq() and left those returns as context), so the tag points at
the original driver rather than the descriptor conversion
Changes in v3:
- New patch, split out of the pinctrl change: while converting the probe
error paths to a goto, Takashi Sakamoto noted that the hardcoded -EINVAL
discards the real gpiod_to_irq()/request_threaded_irq() error, so fix
that separately first
