[PATCH v3] i2c: imx: make bus recovery through pinctrl optional

[PATCH v3] i2c: imx: make bus recovery through pinctrl optional

[Li Yang]

Since commit 1c4b6c3bcf30 ("i2c: imx: implement bus recovery") the driver
starts to use gpio/pinctrl to do i2c bus recovery.  But pinctrl is not
always available for platforms using this driver such as ls1021a and
ls1043a, and the device tree binding also mentioned this gpio based
recovery mechanism as optional.  The patch make it really optional that
the probe function won't bailout when pinctrl is not available and it
won't try to register recovery functions if pinctrl is NULL when the
PINCTRL is not enabled at all.

I'd prefer to set i2c_imx->pinctrl to NULL if it's not used and then use

	if (!i2c_imx->pinctrl)

here. (Or maybe make i2c_imx_init_recovery_info aware of this situation
to keep the caller simple?)

Best regards
Uwe

Setting not used pointer to NULL might be a good coding practice
generally.  But in this case neither the driver nor gpio framework
checks if the pinctrl is NULL before accessing it.  We still need the
driver to make sure pinctrl is not used in this situation.  The
benefit of the proposed change seems to be pretty limited.  :)

At least it gets rid of IS_ERR_OR_NULL which is used wrongly more often
than not.

At least it gets rid of IS_ERR_OR_NULL which is used wrongly more often
than not.

It's true that this API is not used a lot.  Are you suggesting that it
is poorly designed and probably should be removed?  But I still don't
quite get the point why it tends to be wrongly used.  Do you consider
the use in this patch a wrongly used case?

Leo

See http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.omap/97874 for an
earlier discussion. Having said that, I think at the moment there is no
such bug in this case, still I agree with Russell that IS_ERR_OR_NULL
isn't nice and so would prefer not to add new instances.

Best regards
Uwe
