From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: quentin.schulz@free-electrons.com (Quentin Schulz) Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2016 11:59:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] hwmon: iio_hwmon: defer probe when no channel is found In-Reply-To: <1468576754-3273-1-git-send-email-quentin.schulz@free-electrons.com> References: <1468576754-3273-1-git-send-email-quentin.schulz@free-electrons.com> Message-ID: <1468576754-3273-2-git-send-email-quentin.schulz@free-electrons.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org iio_channel_get_all returns -ENODEV when it cannot find either phandles and properties in the Device Tree or channels whose consumer_dev_name matches iio_hwmon in iio_map_list. The iio_map_list is filled in by iio drivers which might be probed after iio_hwmon. It is better to defer the probe of iio_hwmon if such error is returned by iio_channel_get_all in order to let a chance to iio drivers to expose channels in iio_map_list.
