Subject: [PATCH v2] mmc: pxamci: Simplify pxamci_probe() error handling using devm APIs
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2025 00:16:57 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251014184657.111144-1-rakuram.e96@gmail.com> (raw)
This patch refactors pxamci_probe() to use devm-managed resource
allocation (e.g. devm_dma_request_chan()) and dev_err_probe() for
improved readability and automatic cleanup on probe failure.
This eliminates redundant NULL assignments and manual release logic.
This issue was originally reported by Smatch:
drivers/mmc/host/pxamci.c:709 pxamci_probe() warn: passing zero to 'PTR_ERR'
The warning occurred because a pointer was set to NULL before using
PTR_ERR(), leading to PTR_ERR(0) and an incorrect 0 return value.
This refactor eliminates that condition while improving overall
error handling robustness.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/202510041841.pRlunIfl-lkp@intel.com/
Fixes: 58c40f3faf742c ("mmc: pxamci: Use devm_mmc_alloc_host() helper")

Changes since v1:
Following Uwe Kleine-König’s suggestion:
- Replaced dma_request_chan() with devm_dma_request_chan() to make DMA
channel allocation devm-managed and avoid manual release paths.
- Used dev_err_probe() for improved error reporting and consistent
probe failure handling.
- Removed redundant NULL assignments and obsolete goto-based cleanup logic.
- Updated commit message to better describe the intent of the change.
Testing note:
I do not have access to appropriate hardware for runtime testing.
Any help verifying on actual hardware would be appreciated.
Build and Analysis:
This patch was compiled against the configuration file reported by
0day CI in the above link (config: s390-randconfig-r071-20251004) using
`s390x-linux-gnu-gcc (Ubuntu 14.2.0-19ubuntu2) 14.2.0`.
Static analysis was performed with Smatch to ensure the reported warning
no longer reproduces after applying this fix.
Command used for verification:
