Subject: [PATCH 02/14] nvmem: return -EOPNOTSUPP to in-kernel users on missing callbacks
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 10:46:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729094647.111468-3-srini@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729094647.111468-1-srini@kernel.org>

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@oss.qualcomm.com>

__nvmem_reg_read/write() currently return -EINVAL if the relevant
callback is not present. User-space helpers again check the presence
of the callbacks to see if they should return -EPERM.

Ahead of adding SRCU synchronization: change the error code returned to
in-kernel users to -EOPNOTSUPP which is more indicative of the actual
reason for the failure.

Remove the checks from the sysfs attribute callbacks as these are not
visible without the required callbacks.
