Hi Roberta,
I think this is slightly more complex. This function is used in adf4350_probe():
if (spi->dev.of_node) {
pdata = adf4350_parse_dt(&spi->dev);
if (pdata == NULL)
return -EINVAL;
Since pdata will only be NULL in the case, where you dropped the error message,
I think the EINVAL here should be changed to ENOMEM as well.

Based on Harmut's review we can return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) here
and then use IS_ERR and PTR_ERR inside adf4350_probe()

This patch is fine as it is. It removes the redundant error message. Every
thing else should be done in a second patch.

That's better, indeed.

I can't follow on this one. From what I see, if memory allocation fails here,
we will get an appropriate error message here, and _probe will pass up -EINVAL,
causing a misleading error message. Where do you see redundancy?

Unless you pass __GFP_NOWARN to k*alloc it will print a error message on its
own if the allocation fails.

Yes, separate issues - be it the case that they both want fixing. Anyhow, have applied
this patch to the togreg branch of iio.git
