[PATCH 4.14 147/156] serial: 8250_of: fix return code when probe function fails to get reset

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Feb 02 2018 - 12:47:07 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit b9820a31691b771db37afe2054dd3d3a680c1eed upstream.

The error pointer from devm_reset_control_get_optional_shared() is
not propagated.

One of the most common problem scenarios is it returns -EPROBE_DEFER
when the reset controller has not probed yet. In this case, the
probe of the reset consumer should be deferred.
