Subject: [PATCH phy-next 3/5] phy: lynx-28g: require an OF node to probe
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 18:00:21 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511150023.1903577-4-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260511150023.1903577-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com>
The driver will gain support for variants in an upcoming change, and
will use of_device_get_match_data() to deduce the running variant from
the compatible string.
Currently, the driver expects the schema at phy/fsl,lynx-28g.yaml, and
OF-based consumers, but doesn't enforce this. And it is possible for
user space to force-bind the driver to a device without OF node using
the driver_override sysfs.
To avoid future surprise crashes for an unsupported configuration,
explicitly test for the presence of an OF node and fail probing if
found.
