Subject: [PATCH] serial: 8250_dw: handle reset control deassert error
Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2025 11:13:08 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251009081309.2021600-1-a.shimko.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
Check the return value of reset_control_deassert() in the probe
function to prevent continuing probe when reset deassertion fails.
Previously, reset_control_deassert() was called without checking its
return value, which could lead to probe continuing even when the
device reset wasn't properly deasserted.
The fix checks the return value and returns an error with dev_err_probe()
if reset deassertion fails, providing better error handling and
diagnostics.

Hello maintainers and reviewers,
This patch adds proper error handling for reset_control_deassert() in the
DesignWare 8250 serial driver probe function.
Currently, if reset deassertion fails, the driver continues probing which
could lead to operating a UART device that is still held in reset. This patch
ensures we properly check the return value and fail the probe with a
meaningful error message if reset deassertion fails.
The change follows the same pattern as other drivers handling reset controls
and provides consistent error handling behavior.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
Artem Shimko
