Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y 7/7] i2c: core: fix adapter probe deferral loop
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 06:30:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722103029.890864-7-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722103029.890864-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 158efa411c57111d87bf265a3776614f32d70007 ]
Drivers must not probe defer after having registered devices as that
will trigger a probe loop if the devices bind to a driver (cf. commit
fbc35b45f9f6 ("Add documentation on meaning of -EPROBE_DEFER")).
Move the recovery initialisation, where the GPIO lookup may fail, before
registering the adapter to prevent this.
Fixes: 75820314de26 ("i2c: core: add generic I2C GPIO recovery")
