Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 2/2] serial: 8250_dw: handle reset control deassert error
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 13:31:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251027173145.608096-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251027173145.608096-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Artem Shimko <a.shimko.dev@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit daeb4037adf7d3349b4a1fb792f4bc9824686a4b ]

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.
