Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net: fec: Propagate PTP initialization errors
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 18:14:15 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820111416.97917-1-phucduc.bui@gmail.com> (raw)

From: bui duc phuc <phucduc.bui@gmail.com>

Change fec_ptp_init() to return an error code instead of silently
ignoring failures during PTP initialization.

The PPS IRQ is not required for the FEC/PTP functionality, so its
absence should not make the probe fail. However, an unavailable
optional IRQ should be distinguished from an actual error returned
during the IRQ lookup.

If a platform does not support the PPS IRQ, it can omit the IRQ from
its device tree and the optional lookup will return -ENXIO. Propagate
other errors from the IRQ lookup instead of silently ignoring them.

Also propagate failures from devm_request_irq() and ptp_clock_register().

Update the function declaration in fec.h accordingly.

Found by manual code inspection.
