So if the failed reason is just like DMA channel request failed. At this time the DMA should free by devm_kfree(). Is it? > OK. I didn't notice that failing DMA support wasn't a showstopper for the whole driver. In this case I would remove the 'failed' from the messages inside i2c_imx_dma_request() to make them more benign looking and output them with dev_dbg(), so they can be en-/disabled with CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_BUS. What about returning -EPROBE_DEFER in appropriate cases (when there is a chance that the DMA driver will be probed later than the I2C driver)?
