I'm seeing no sense in overriding an actual error.Hm, I decided to check drivers/base/dd.c and I think I maybe know the reason now: -ENXIO, usually returned by platform_get_irq(), is silently "swallowed" by really_probe(); to be precise, -ENODEV and -ENXIO are only reported with pr_debug(), while -ENOENT causes printk(KERN_WARNING, ...)...
Sorry, I'm confused... What should it be? v1 or v2? Here are the counts of the different constants returned on failure of platform_get_irq:
I was somewhat confused myself but then I remembered about the deferred probing -- overriding error code basically just disables it in this case.
ENODEV: 84 ENXIO: 67
Those 2 totally make no sense. :-)
EINVAL: 61 ENOENT: 29 EBUSY: 11
Hm...
EIO: 2 EPROBE_DEFER: 1
Hm, and that last one is unconditional?
