[PATCH 1/2] ASoC: tegra: improve goto error label

[Marcel Ziswiler]

From: Marcel Ziswiler <marcel.ziswiler@toradex.com>

While the two error labels "err" and "err_clk_put" goto the same place
it is rather confusing that the earlier one is certainly used later
again.

[PATCH 2/2] ASoC: tegra: probe deferral error reporting

[Marcel Ziswiler]

From: Marcel Ziswiler <marcel.ziswiler@toradex.com>

Actually report the error codes from of_get_named_gpio() resp.
devm_gpio_request_one() upon trying to get the codec reset resp. sync
GPIOs which may as well just be a probe deferrals.

Don't split strings over lines like this, it causes problems when people
grep for errors.  It's better to go over 80 columns.

This isn't reporting an error code associated with the attempt to find a
codec-sync GPIO, it's the result of some other operation.

Applied "ASoC: tegra: improve goto error label" to the asoc tree

[Mark Brown]

The patch

   ASoC: tegra: improve goto error label

has been applied to the asoc tree at

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git 

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

OK, will do. However, in this case I did not actually split anything
searchable anyway.

What exactly is then the of_get_named_gpio() above please doing if
not getting the codec sync GPIO? I am not following you, sorry.

It's not in any way involved in setting the value of ret, whatever value
that has it's nothing to do with that operation.

Above ac97->sync_gpio gets return value from of_get_named_gpio(),
right?

Here it goes if ac97->sync_gpio is not a valid GPIO e.g. in an error
case as reported by above of_get_named_gpio(), right?

And here I assign ret with that return value from of_get_named_gpio(),
right?

And then I actually report what error it was (e.g. probe deferral).

I really do not understand what you are trying to get at, sorry.

The comment to gpio_is_valid() says that it "Returns GPIO number to use with 
Linux generic GPIO API, or one of the errno value on the error condition". 
Comment doesn't explicitly states that the returned GPIO number is always 
valid, but it is kinda implied.

Do you mean I should be assigning the return value of gpio_is_valid()
to ret and use that instead?

No, gpio_is_valid() returns a boolean. I think your patch is fine as it is is.

Probably Mark meant something like this:

        ac97->sync_gpio = of_get_named_gpio(pdev->dev.of_node,
                                            "nvidia,codec-sync-gpio", 0);
        if (ac97->sync_gpio < 0) {
                ret = ac97->sync_gpio;
                dev_err(&pdev->dev, "no codec-sync GPIO supplied: %d\n", ret);
                goto err_clk_put;
        }

        if (!gpio_is_valid(ac97->sync_gpio)) {
                ret = -EINVAL;
                goto err_clk_put;
       }

But that is not needed because of_get_named_gpio() returns either a valid GPIO 
number or a error code.

Also note that tegra20_ac97 code doesn't check the returned value of:

	gpio_request(workdata->sync_gpio, "codec-sync");

That is a bit fragile. Probably would be better to move the GPIO requesting to 
the drivers probe function using the devm_gpio_request_one() and fail the 
driver probing if requesting fails. That should be a distinct patch if you'll 
want to implement that.

Didn't see the above assignment you'd added, sorry.

This will still print an error on defer, which is not really nice. I
suggest to suppress defer errors completely, e.g. by:

		if (ret != -EPROBE_DEFER)
			dev_err(&pdev->dev, "no codec-sync GPIO supplied: %d\n", ret);

The driver framework provides debug level prints if debugging of
deferred probing is required.
