[PATCH v3] rtc: s3c: Don't print an error on probe deferral

[PATCH v3] rtc: s3c: Don't print an error on probe deferral

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

The clock and source clock looked up by the driver may not be available
just because the clock controller driver was not probed yet so printing
an error in this case is not correct and only adds confusion to users.

However, knowing that a driver's probe was deferred may be useful so it
can be printed as a debug information.

Changes in v3:
- Change debug messages again as suggested by Joe Perches.

Changes in v2:
- Improve debug messages as suggested by Joe Perches.

The error path starts looking complicated. This has now 4 indentation
levels...

I agree for removal of error in case of probe deferral because it might
be misleading but I don't see much benefit of a debug message.

Yeah, I don't think we can get rid of the 4 indentation levels since
the function already has 3 and a check for the errno code is needed.

But yes, we can at least get rid of the else statement. I don't have a
strong opinion about the debug information, I left it to avoid someone
to tell me that I was removing a useful log.

Probably handling of the clocks in the driver could be simplified a
little bit (the if(needs_src_clk) appears in few places)... but this is
out of scope for this patch.

Although dev_dbg doesn't harm... but isn't driver core printing debug
message already?

Probably handling of the clocks in the driver could be simplified a
little bit (the if(needs_src_clk) appears in few places)... but this is
out of scope for this patch.

Although dev_dbg doesn't harm... but isn't driver core printing debug
message already?

I don't think it does or at least I didn't find it when looking

Just to make sure that I understood correctly, there's no action I
should take in order for this patch to be picked right? IOW, the
current version is OK?

I was kind of waiting an answer on the question whether the core already
prints a message when probe dereferral happens because in that case,
there is no need for a debug message and we can indeed simplify the
whole block.

Although I did not test it, I think the core will print generic defer
message. See really_probe() around line 400:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/base/dd.c?v=4.4#L347

However the cause of deferring will not be printed... so I find some
use of debug message in driver... On the other hand, not many drivers
are doing this. Ehh, I guess I am just really picky. :)

Krzysztof

Ok, I've found the recent commit 13fcffbbdec4e4863a9a9c7792b821cd6d363a8f
