From 370f995d587852dc8da4ce5687acae8be61d7529 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Mamonov Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2019 17:39:52 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] thermal: of: Make thermal_zone_of_sensor_register return -ENODEV if a sensor OF node is missing When devm_thermal_zone_of_sensor_register() is called from hwmon_thermal_add_sensor() it is possible that the relevant sensor is missing an OF node. In this case thermal_zone_of_sensor_register() returns -EINVAL which causes hwmon_thermal_add_sensor() to fail as well. This patch changes relevant return code of thermal_zone_of_sensor_register() to -ENODEV, which is tolerated by hwmon_thermal_add_sensor(). Here is a particular case of such behaviour: the Marvell ethernet PHYs driver registers hwmon device for the built-in temperature sensor (see drivers/net/phy/marvell.c). Since the sensor doesn't have associated OF node devm_hwmon_device_register() returns error which ultimately causes failure of the PHY driver's probe function.
