The following commit:
commit 9ec36cafe43bf835f8f29273597a5b0cbc8267ef
Author: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>
Date: Wed Apr 23 17:57:41 2014 -0500
of/irq: do irq resolution in platform_get_irq
changed platform_get_irq() which now returns ENODEV and EPROBE_DEFER,
in addition to ENXIO. If there's no interrupt for mvmdio, platform_get_irq()
returns ENODEV, but we currently check only for ENXIO.
Fix this by looking for a positive integer, which is the proper way of
validating a virtual interrupt number.

Ezequiel,
I cannot find where Rob's mentioned patch set adds -ENODEV, but isn't
the semantic for -EPROBE_DEFER: there *should* be an irq, but it is
not yet available. That basically means, we should also defer on that
error otherwise we would ignore that we have actually been given an irq
to work with, right?

Well, I don't think it's not mentioned in the patch. The path is:
platform_get_irq -> of_irq_get -> of_irq_parse_one -> EINVAL.
So it's EINVAL, not ENODEV. But the lesson is to avoid checking for
a particular error (except EPROBE_DEFER which is special) because
it's a fragile practice.

Yes, I agree. Did another patch for that, but haven't send it yet.
AFAICS, mvebu platforms will never hit the deferred case as the irqchip
is the first driver registered (as per drivers/Makefile).
Not that we should count on that :)

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

It doesn't hit it _now_ because of the above. I read about proper
platform_device for early devices here and there over and over
again, so I guess some day it may become an issue.
As we know about the potential -EPROBE_DEFER now, I suggest to
deal with it now, too.
Can you resend this as v2 with the other patch you mentioned
squashed in?

Sure. I did that first, but then wasn't sure about squashing both changes.
Thanks for helping out,

Oh! I've just remembered why I didn't send the EPROBE_DEFER patch in the first
place. The mvneta driver connects to the phy at open()-time, in a function
called "mvneta_mdio_probe()". This name confused me to think the mdio was
really probed at open()-time.
I guess it was very late at night when I came to such conclusion :)
