Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 1/5] i2c: core: Setup i2c_adapter runtime-pm before calling device_add()
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 20:50:42 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722005046.603973-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026071656-dullness-penalize-0e99@gregkh>

From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 60f68597024d5af727c8a5f5f3b11f246265192b ]

Platform glue code, which is not build into the kernel and thus cannot
use i2c_register_board_info() may want to use bus_register_notifier()
to listen for i2c-adapters to show up on which the platform code needs
to manually instantiate platform specific i2c_clients.

This results in calling i2c_new_client_device() from the bus notifier
which happens near the device_add() call.

If the i2c-core has not yet setup runtime-pm (specifically the
no-callbacks and ignore-children flags) for the device embedded
inside struct i2c_adapter and the driver for the i2c_client
calls pm_runtime_set_active() this will trigger the following
error inside __pm_runtime_set_status():

"runtime PM trying to activate child device %s but parent (%s) is not active\n"

and the i2c_client's runtime-status will not be updated.

Split the device_register() call for the adapter into device_initialize()
and device_add() and move the pm-runtime init calls inbetween these 2 calls
so that the runtime-status can be correctly set when a driver binds from
the bus-notifier.

Note the moved pm-runtime init calls just override the initial value of
some flags in struct device set by device_initialize() and calling these
before device_add() is safe.
