[PATCH 0/8] mwifiex: Fix some error handling issues in mwifiex_sdio_probe() function

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

Hello,

While booting a system with a mwifiex WiFi card, I noticed the following
missleading error message:

[  12.480042] mwifiex_sdio mmc2:0001:1: sdio platform data not available

This error only applies to platforms that define a child node for the SDIO
device, but it's currently shown even in platforms that don't have a child
node defined.

So this series fixes this issue and others I found in the .probe function
(mostly related to error handling and the error path) while looking at it.

Best regards,
Javier

[PATCH 1/8] mwifiex: only call mwifiex_sdio_probe_of() if dev has an OF node

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

SDIO is an auto enumerable bus so the SDIO devices are matched using the
sdio_device_id table and not using compatible strings from a OF id table.

However, commit ce4f6f0c353b ("mwifiex: add platform specific wakeup
interrupt support") allowed to match nodes defined as child of the SDIO
host controller in the probe function using a compatible string to setup
platform specific parameters in the DT.

The problem is that the OF parse function is always called regardless if
the SDIO dev has an OF node associated or not, and prints an error if it
is not found. So, on a platform that doesn't have a node for a SDIO dev,
the following misleading error message will be printed:

[  12.480042] mwifiex_sdio mmc2:0001:1: sdio platform data not available

[PATCH 2/8] mwifiex: propagate sdio_enable_func() errno code in mwifiex_sdio_probe()

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

If the sdio_enable_func() function fails on .probe, the -EIO errno code
is always returned but that could make more difficult to debug and find
the cause of why the function actually failed.

Since the driver/device core prints the value returned by .probe in its
error message propagate what was returned by sdio_enable_func() at fail.

[PATCH 3/8] mwifiex: propagate mwifiex_add_card() errno code in mwifiex_sdio_probe()

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

There's only a check if mwifiex_add_card() returned a nonzero value, but
the actual error code is neither stored nor propagated to the caller. So
instead of always returning -1 (which is -EPERM and not a suitable errno
code in this case), propagate the value returned by mwifiex_add_card().

Patch also removes the assignment of sdio_disable_func() returned value
since it was overwritten anyways and what matters is to know the error
value returned by the first function that failed.

[PATCH 4/8] mwifiex: consolidate mwifiex_sdio_probe() error paths

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

Instead of duplicating part of the cleanups needed in case of an error
in .probe callback, have a single error path and use goto labels as is
common practice in the kernel.

This also has the nice side effect that the cleanup operations are made
in the inverse order of their counterparts, which was not the case for
the mwifiex_add_card() error path.

[PATCH 8/8] mwifiex: use better message and error code when OF node doesn't match

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

The Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/wireless/marvell-sd8xxx.txt DT
binding document lists the possible compatible strings that a SDIO child
node can have, so the driver checks if the defined in the node matches.

But the error message when that's not the case is misleading, so change
for one that makes clear what the error really is. Also, returning a -1
as errno code is not correct since that's -EPERM. A -EINVAL seems to be
a more appropriate one.

Have you checked whether it is truly optional? I.e. nothing else
breaks if this property isn't set?

This looks sensible to me.

Hello Julian,

Thanks a lot for your feedback and reviews.

That's what the DT binding says and the IRQ is only used as a wakeup source
during system suspend, it is not used during runtime. And that is why the
mwifiex_sdio_probe_of() function does not fail if the IRQ is missing.

Now, I just got to that conclusion by reading the binding docs, the message
in the commits that introduced this and the driver code. Xinming Hu should
comment on how critical this feature is for systems that needs to be wakeup.

In any case I think that the code should be consistent with what the binding
doc says and also the function does (i.e: dev_err only if returns an error).

Awesome, that's what I wanted to know.

Xinming, could you review this also?

Thanks for fixing the error handling code. These patches look fine to me.

Yes. IRQ is the optional parameter. System has a flexibility to not use it, but it still can configure other device tree parameters. The patch looks good.
