Subject: [PATCH] serial: 8250_dw: handle reset control deassert error

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.

[PATCH 5.4.y 1/3] serial: 8250_dw: Use devm_clk_get_optional() to get the input clock

[Sasha Levin]

From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>

[ Upstream commit a8afc193558a42d5df724c84436ae3b2446d8a30 ]

Simplify the code which fetches the input clock by using
devm_clk_get_optional(). This comes with a small functional change: previously
all errors were ignored except deferred probe. Now all errors are
treated as errors. If no input clock is present devm_clk_get_optional() will
return NULL instead of an error which matches the behavior of the old code.

[PATCH 5.4.y 2/3] serial: 8250_dw: Use devm_add_action_or_reset()

From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>

[ Upstream commit 295b09128d12fb1a7a67f771cc0ae0df869eafaf ]

Slightly simplify ->probe() and drop a few goto labels by using
devm_add_action_or_reset() for clock and reset cleanup.

[PATCH 5.4.y 3/3] serial: 8250_dw: handle reset control deassert error

[Sasha Levin]

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.
