Commit Message

Trevor Gamblin June 13, 2024, 4:34 p.m. UTC
The current error handling for calls such as devm_clk_get_enabled() in
the adi-axi-adc probe() function means that, if a property such as
'clocks' (for example) is not present in the devicetree when booting a
kernel with the driver enabled, the resulting error message will be
vague, e.g.:

|adi_axi_adc 44a00000.backend: probe with driver adi_axi_adc failed with error -2

Change the devm_clk_get_enabled(), devm_regmap_init_mmio(), and
devm_iio_backend_register() checks to use dev_err_probe() with some
context for easier debugging.

After the fix:

|adi_axi_adc 44a00000.backend: error -ENOENT: failed to get clock
|adi_axi_adc 44a00000.backend: probe with driver adi_axi_adc failed with error -2

Somehow feel that in these cases the error log should come from the functions we're
calling but bah... likely not going happen/change:

(As a suggestion, you may do similar work in the axi-dac driver)

Thanks. I'll send that early next week after a quick test on a board.

I tweaked the commit text to say
After the change:
as I don't want to see this picked up by a bot for stable.

As a side note, you could have taken the opportunity to add
struct device *dev = pdev->dev;
which I think would have reduced a few line lengths without loosing
readability.  Not important though and perhaps not even a good idea :)

Applied to the togreg branch of iio.git and pushed out as testing.
Note I plan to rebase my tree shortly to avoid some merge conflicts
that otherwise occur.  I'll probably do that before I push out
other than as testing.

Thanks,

Jonathan
