[PATCH v5 1/3] hwmon: iio_hwmon: defer probe when no channel is found
From: Quentin Schulz
Date: Thu Sep 08 2016 - 10:29:59 EST
iio_channel_get_all returns -ENODEV when it cannot find either phandles and
properties in the Device Tree or channels whose consumer_dev_name matches
iio_hwmon in iio_map_list. The iio_map_list is filled in by iio drivers
which might be probed after iio_hwmon.
It is better to defer the probe of iio_hwmon if such error is returned by
iio_channel_get_all in order to let a chance to iio drivers to expose
channels in iio_map_list.
