Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] iio: humidity: dht11: Emit error messages for probe failures
Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2022 21:42:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220718194258.181738-2-ukleinek@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220718194258.181738-1-ukleinek@debian.org>

There are two exit points in the driver's probe function that fail
silently. From a user perspective this is unsatisfactory because the
device is unusable but there is no hint in the kernel log about the
actual problem which makes it unnecessarily hard to fix the problem.

Make use of dev_err_probe() to emit a problem indication which also does
the right thing if requesting the gpio return -EPROBE_DEFER.

Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <ukleinek@debian.org>

Changes since (implicit) v1:

 - Make it actually compile. (It helps quite a lot to have the driver to
   be tested enabled in the config when doing compile tests *sigh*)
 - Fix a typo I added when manually splitting the original patch
