It doesn't panic and doesn't print an error message (obviously the "let the caller unaware" part is true). > Change that by converting the init functions to return an error conforming > to the CLOCKSOURCE_OF_RET prototype. > > Proper error handling (rollback, errno value) will be changed later case > by case, thus this change just return back an error or success in the init > function. Apart from the comment below the error handling is already fine in this driver. > Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano > --- > drivers/clocksource/time-efm32.c | 20 +++++++++++++------- > 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/clocksource/time-efm32.c b/drivers/clocksource/time-efm32.c > index b06e4c2..b71ffc6 100644 > --- a/drivers/clocksource/time-efm32.c > +++ b/drivers/clocksource/time-efm32.c > @@ -233,7 +233,11 @@ static int __init efm32_clockevent_init(struct device_node *np) > DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(rate, 1024), > 0xf, 0xffff); > > - setup_irq(irq, &efm32_clock_event_irq); > + ret = setup_irq(irq, &efm32_clock_event_irq); > + if (ret) { > + pr_err("Failed setup irq"); > + goto err_get_irq; I would prefer to introduce another label "err_setup_irq" at the same place as err_get_irq and use it here. > + } > > return 0; > Best regards Uwe -- Pengutronix e.K. | Uwe Kleine-König | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ |
