Subject: [PATCH 3/4] perf/arm_cspmu: Improve sub-module error reporting
Date: Thu,  9 Jul 2026 15:39:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f8bdaf6c3f0ec2be905e43766410177d3c409690.1783605641.git.robin.murphy@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1783605641.git.robin.murphy@arm.com>

When waiting for a sub-module to register, we return a bare
-EPROBE_DEFER that ends up showing the end user:

  platform arm-cs-arch-pmu.1: deferred probe pending (no reason)

wherein it's not necessarily clear that they might need to take some
action to ensure the appropriate module is available to load. Let's use
dev_err_probe() here so we can show exactly what we're waiting for.

Similarly, in the case where something's gone horribly wrong with an
already-registered module, we can use dev_WARN() to standardise the
device/driver attribution rather than just open-coding "arm_cspmu".
