Hi Marek,
We used to use of_reserved_mem_device_init() in such a context in GPU drivers:
-------------------->8-------------------
/* Get the optional framebuffer memory resource */
ret = of_reserved_mem_device_init(drm->dev);
if (ret && ret != -ENODEV)
return ret;
-------------------->8-------------------
The point is we may have a dedicated reserved memory area or may not have
(depends on a particular .dts).
Our expectation is if reserved memory area is missing then
of_reserved_mem_device_init()
just returns -ENODEV and it used to work like this.
Now with your commit 59ce4039727e "of: reserved_mem: add support for using more than
one region for given device"
behavior is different. of_reserved_mem_device_init_by_idx() has this:
-------------------->8-------------------
target = of_parse_phandle(np, "memory-region", idx);
if (!target)
return -EINVAL;
-------------------->8-------------------
So I'm wondering which part should be fixed:
1) of_reserved_mem itself or
2) users of of_reserved_mem_device_init()
Any thoughts?
This was my fault. The fix is already queued to linux-next, see commit
9f5a802b1d51dc80a27d828a5f7dcc8ec4a72f03 ("[media] of: reserved_mem: restore
old behavior when no region is defined"),
