I'm adding their maintainers to the loop. TL;DR: Either I don't understand the implication for drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-imx.c or everything is fine. Given that only i2c_imx_init_recovery_info() uses gpio functions I assume you mean: rinfo->sda_gpiod = devm_gpiod_get(&pdev->dev, "sda", GPIOD_IN); rinfo->scl_gpiod = devm_gpiod_get(&pdev->dev, "scl", GPIOD_OUT_HIGH); if (PTR_ERR(rinfo->sda_gpiod) == -EPROBE_DEFER || PTR_ERR(rinfo->scl_gpiod) == -EPROBE_DEFER) { return -EPROBE_DEFER; } else if (IS_ERR(rinfo->sda_gpiod) || IS_ERR(rinfo->scl_gpiod) || IS_ERR(i2c_imx->pinctrl_pins_default) || IS_ERR(i2c_imx->pinctrl_pins_gpio)) { dev_dbg(&pdev->dev, "recovery information incomplete\n"); return 0; } So if a patch changes devm_gpiod_get() to return -EPROBE_DEFER in more cases that doesn't seem to hurt. Moreover TTBOMK this driver should only be used by dt-machines today such that changing gpio* for non-DT users shouldn't affect it.
