I think you have nailed it. This checks for a domain attached to
the driver we are about to probe, and this domain cannot possibly
exist. Instead, it is the *parent* this should check for, as we
depend on it for successful probing.

Duh! Looks like I made a copy-paste/typo error. The comment clearly
says I'm trying to check the parent and then I end up checking the
node getting registered. I'm sure this will fix it.

Actually Nial sent an email a few hours after your and he had found
the same issue. He even tested the fix with an irqchip driver and it
fixed the probe issue.

OK, thanks for confirming. It would have been good if these patches
had seen a bit more testing.


I'm assuming you'll put up the patch yourself. Please let me know if
you need me to send one.

I have queued this [1] in -next.

It'd be good if someone (John?) could give a Tested-by.

Thanks,

M.
