Re: [PATCH] hwmon: (ibmpowernv) Use platform 'id_table' to probe the device

The current driver probe() function assumes the sensor device to be
alwary present and gets executed every time if the driver is loaded,
but the appropriate hardware could not be present.

So, move the platform device creation as part of platform init code
and use the 'id_table' to check if the device present or not.

Hi Neelesh,

this is either an error and should be reported with pr_err, or it is
a valid condition and should be reported with pr_debug or not at all.

Which one is it ?

Also, can you put this code into a 'normal' error handler instead of using if/else ?

if (!sensor) {
pr_err("Opal node 'sensors' not found\n");
return -ENODEV;
}
pdev = of_platform_device_create(sensor, "opal-sensor", NULL);
...

This would make the code flow easier to understand.

Thanks,
Guenter
