[PATCH 3/4] platform/x86/amd/pmc: Do not fail probe when STB init fails

From: Mario Limonciello

Date: Fri Jul 17 2026 - 12:21:32 EST


STB (Spill to DRAM) is an optional debugging facility that is only
enabled through the enable_stb module parameter. On some platforms the
SMU refuses the S2D setup outright, and on long-running systems the large
telemetry region can fail to ioremap. In either case amd_stb_s2d_init()
returns an error and, because probe treated that as fatal, the entire
PMC driver failed to load - silently disabling s0i3 support even though
STB is only a debug aid.

Downgrade the failure to a warning and continue probing so that s0i3
support via the LPS0 handler no longer depends on an optional debug
feature.

Since probe no longer aborts on this path, the LPS0 and debugfs
unwinding added by the earlier fix in this series becomes unreachable
and is removed.
