If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Cosmo Chou [ Upstream commit 8d6b6c05b8e33d11e3fb3203309385e1a9cceecd ] The initial PWM and PSC register writes in pca9532_configure() do not check the return values of i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(). If the I2C device is physically absent from the bus, the write fails with -ENXIO. However, the driver ignores this error and allows probe() to complete successfully. This results in the registration of phantom LED class devices and gpiochips backed by non-existent hardware. Subsequent GPIO reads from these phantom chips return bogus values (due to -ENXIO being truncated to an unsigned char in pca9532_gpio_get_value()), silently corrupting hardware state tracking in userspace. Propagate the I2C write failures back to probe() so the driver core can gracefully abort binding and release devres-managed resources.
