Hi,

Get your good point. I will change my code in V6:
+       ret = i2c_imx_dma_request(i2c_imx, phy_addr);
+       if (ret) {
+               if (ret == -EPROBE_DEFER)
+                       goto clk_notifier_unregister;
+               else if (ret == -ENODEV)
+                       dev_dbg(&pdev->dev, "Only use PIO mode\n");
+               else
+                       dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Failed to setup DMA, only use PIO mode\n");
+       }

I think this is what you want to see, right?
