Subject: [PATCH] driver core: Fix double failed probing with fw_devlink=on
Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2021 12:16:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210215111619.2385030-1-geert+renesas@glider.be> (raw)

With fw_devlink=permissive, devices are added to the deferred probe
pending list if their driver's .probe() method returns -EPROBE_DEFER.

With fw_devlink=on, devices are added to the deferred probe pending list
if they are determined to be a consumer, which happens before their
driver's .probe() method is called.  If the actual probe fails later
(real failure, not -EPROBE_DEFER), the device will still be on the
deferred probe pending list, and it will be probed again when deferred
probing kicks in, which is futile.

Fix this by explicitly removing the device from the deferred probe
pending list in case of probe failures.

Fixes: e590474768f1cc04 ("driver core: Set fw_devlink=on by default")
