From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Lars-Peter Clausen Subject: [PATCH] gpiolib: of_find_gpio(): Don't discard errors Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2016 17:40:09 +0200 Message-ID: <1467387609-13811-1-git-send-email-lars@metafoo.de> Return-path: Received: from www381.your-server.de ([78.46.137.84]:59933 "EHLO www381.your-server.de" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1751218AbcGAPkU (ORCPT ); Fri, 1 Jul 2016 11:40:20 -0400 Sender: linux-gpio-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-gpio@vger.kernel.org To: Linus Walleij , Alexandre Courbot Cc: linux-gpio@vger.kernel.org, Lars-Peter Clausen Since commit dd34c37aa3e8 ("gpio: of: Allow -gpio suffix for property names") when requesting a GPIO from the devicetree gpiolib looks for properties with both the '-gpio' and the '-gpios' suffix. This was implemented by first searching for the property with the '-gpios' suffix and if that yields an error try the '-gpio' suffix. This approach has the issue that any error returned when looking for the '-gpios' suffix is silently discarded. Commit 06fc3b70f1dc ("gpio: of: Fix handling for deferred probe for -gpio suffix") partially addressed the issue by treating the EPROBE_DEFER error as a special condition. This fixed the case when the property is specified, but the GPIO provider is not ready yet. But there are other cases in which of_get_named_gpiod_flags() returns an error even though the property is specified, e.g. if the specification is incorrect. of_find_gpio() should only try to look for the property with the '-gpio' suffix if no property with the '-gpios' suffix was found. If the property was not found of_get_named_gpiod_flags() will return -ENOENT, so update the condition to abort and propagate the error to the caller in all other cases. This is important for gpiod_get_optinal() and friends to behave correctly in case the specifier contains errors. Without this patch they'll return NULL if the property uses the '-gpios' suffix and the specifier contains errors, which falsely indicates to the caller that no GPIO was specified.
