I can somehow understand what the patch is trying to do but the commit message needs to be rephrased for people to understand the patch.

Looks better to align to previous lines.

ctx isn't used in other places.  Looks like the function can accept "struct mtk_vcodec_dev *vdec_dev" as the only argument.

Does it really need to continue if one of the sub-devices is not ready?

It depends on whether mtk_vdec_hw_match is a must list or not.  For example, if mtk_vdec_hw_match has 4 entries but the DT only has 2 entries, shall it return an error about the entry count mismatch?

The error message shouldn't be "Fail to get ...".  Also the same question: does it really need to continue?

I am wondering if it wouldn't need subdev_node.  Isn't vdec_dev->subdev_dev sufficient to clue all the things?

In addition to the question for subdev_node.  The function calls of_node_put() for every paths.  I am not sure if the function should call of_node_put() in non-error-handling paths (i.e. I thought it needs someone to hold the reference count).

By reading [v10,11/19] media: mtk-vcodec: Generalize power and clock on/off interfaces[1], the mtk_vcodec_get_hw_dev() calls of_node_put() after it gets the hw_pdev.  Looks like the code is meant to borrow the reference count to mtk_vcodec_get_hw_dev().

In short, if the subdev_node is designed to borrow reference count to others, mtk_vcodec_subdev_device_check() shouldn't call of_node_put() in non-error-handling paths.

The error message makes less sense about mentioning pm and registers.

IIUC, it shouldn't happen because the deivce is populated from main device.  Moreover, would it help to defer the probe if dev->parent is NULL?

Share the same concern with comment above.

I prefer to remove the blank line in between mtk_vdec_driver and module_platform_driver.

The same question: if it already has subdev_dev, does it still need subdev_node?
