[PATCH v3 3/8] gpiolib: of: return -ENOENT from of_gpio_count() stub

From: Dmitry Torokhov

Date: Fri Nov 06 2026 - 01:32:13 EST


gpiod_count() and its firmware backends are expected to return either a
positive number of GPIOs or a negative error code (-ENOENT) when no
GPIOs are assigned. However, the !CONFIG_OF_GPIO stub for
of_gpio_count() returns 0 instead of -ENOENT. This causes gpiod_count()
to skip the platform_gpio_count() fallback (which triggers when
count < 0) and erroneously return 0 to callers.

Change the stub to return -ENOENT to match the real of_gpio_count()
implementation and the other error-returning stubs in gpiolib-of.h.
