Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/5] ionic: Allow the first devcmd to trigger deferred probe
Date: Tue, 5 May 2026 20:57:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260506035706.12373-2-eric.joyner@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260506035706.12373-1-eric.joyner@amd.com>

From: Brett Creeley <brett.creeley@amd.com>

There's a chance the register signature value is set before the
firmware is ready to respond to the driver. This doesn't mean the
device isn't there, but just means it's not yet ready. If the first
devcmd fails, then return -EPROBE_DEFER so the device can be probed
at a later time. As part of this make sure the reset devcmd, which
is the first devcmd, is not so alarming when it fails by printing
an information message instead of the standard devcmd failure
messages.

Note, that the ionic_reset() function could be reworked a bit to
keep retrying if err is -EAGAIN or -ETIMEDOUT, but for now I chose
not to change this as 5 seconds should be enough for the firmware
to come up after the devcmd registers are initialized.

Fixes: fbfb8031533c ("ionic: Add hardware init and device commands")
