[PATCH v2] driver core: Print device when resources present in really_probe()

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Fri Dec 06 2019 - 08:22:24 EST


If a device already has devres items attached before probing, a warning
backtrace is printed. However, this backtrace does not reveal the
offending device, leaving the user uninformed. Furthermore, using
WARN_ON() causes systems with panic-on-warn to reboot.

Fix this by replacing the WARN_ON() by a dev_crit() message.
Abort probing the device, to prevent doing more damage to the device's
resources.

v2:
- Use dev_crit() instead of dev_WARN_ON(),
- Abort probing, as this is a critical situation.
