The regulators may not be available just because their driver's probe function was just not executed and so the regulators not registered. So, in this case the Exynos HDMI driver should not print logs since a -EPROBE_DEFER is not really an error and that will just pollute the kernel log and confuse users. This patch prevents the following misleading messages to be printed: [ 1.443638] [drm:hdmi_probe] *ERROR* failed to get regulators [ 1.449326] [drm:hdmi_probe] *ERROR* hdmi_resources_init failed Reported-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javier@osg.samsung.com> --- The real fix for these kind of issues is to change the device model core to support device dependencies so the number of probe deferral should be minimal or non-existent, instead of fixing on each driver. But there have been different attempts [0,1] to implement this and there doesn't seem that this will be solved in the short term.
