Subject: [PATCH 2/8] i2c: core: fix adapter probe deferral loop
Date: Tue, 5 May 2026 16:25:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260505142547.795054-3-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260505142547.795054-1-johan@kernel.org>
Drivers must not probe defer after having registered devices as that
will trigger a probe loop if the devices bind to a driver (cf. commit
fbc35b45f9f6 ("Add documentation on meaning of -EPROBE_DEFER")).
Move the recovery initialisation, where the GPIO lookup may fail, before
registering the adapter to prevent this.
Fixes: 75820314de26 ("i2c: core: add generic I2C GPIO recovery")
