Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] thunderbolt: Add some more descriptive probe error messages
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 20:49:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428-topic-usb4_nonpcie_prepwork-v2-4-452fb9d63f77@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260428-topic-usb4_nonpcie_prepwork-v2-0-452fb9d63f77@oss.qualcomm.com>
From: Konrad Dybcio <konrad.dybcio@oss.qualcomm.com>
Currently there's a lot of silent error-return paths in various places
where nhi_probe() can fail. Sprinkle some prints to make it clearer
where the problem is.
