Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] media: ipu-bridge: reuse the software nodes on rebind
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 17:56:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261010155626.2766298-3-dmanresa@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261010155626.2766298-1-dmanresa@gmail.com>
The software nodes are deliberately never unregistered so that a rebind
can reuse them, but ipu_bridge_init() only takes that path when the IPU
kept its secondary fwnode link. Removing and re-scanning the IPU PCI
device clears that link, so the next probe tries to register the IPU HID
node again and fails:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/kernel/software_nodes/INT343E'
intel-ipu6 0000:00:05.0: Failed to register the IPU HID node
intel-ipu6: probe of 0000:00:05.0 failed with error -17
after which the cameras are unusable until reboot.
Look the registered node up instead and restore the device's secondary
fwnode.
