Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] gpio: swnode: defer probe on references to unregistered software nodes
Date: Thu, 02 Apr 2026 14:54:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402-baytrail-real-swnode-v2-2-6f5054a4cc07@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260402-baytrail-real-swnode-v2-0-6f5054a4cc07@oss.qualcomm.com>
fwnode_property_get_reference_args() now returns -ENXIO when called on a
software node referencing another software node which has not yet been
registered as a firmware node. It makes sense to defer probe in this
situation as the node will most likely be registered later on and we'll
be able to resolve the reference eventually. Change the behavior of
swnode_find_gpio() to return -EPROBE_DEFER if the software node reference
resolution returns -ENXIO.
