Typically an ->attach_dev() callback would fetch some PM resourses.

Those operations, like for example clk_get() may fail with different
errors, including -EPROBE_DEFER. Instead of ignoring these errors and
potentially only print an error message, let's propagate them to give
callers the option to handle them.

Given that several patch series using ->attach_dev() are already floating
around and will be in -next soon, what is the plan of getting this in?
Doing it ASAP (in v3.18-rc3)?
Delaying this to v3.19-rc2, which will require an atomic fixing of its users?
Any other option?

I would prefer if we consider 3.18-rc[x|. That's applies also to the
below patchset, which actually fixes an issue. It would simplify the
process of handling other SOC specific patches which adds PM domain
support.

[PATCH v3 0/9] PM / Domains: Fix race conditions during boot

Obviously the patches needs to be reviewed, I guess we are still in
the process of doing that.

Kind regards

v3.18-rc[x] sounds fine.

Indeed.

Perhaps we can get just the prototype change of ->attach_dev() in first?
That leaves some time for reviewing the code changes to actually handle
the return value, and unblocks platform patches using ->attach_dev() soon,
which are planned to enter in v3.19-rc.

Thanks!

That's an option.

On the other hand, that would mean that the errors that the
attach_dev() callback would return from you SOC specific code, would
just be ignored until v3.19-rc. That's not so good, hiding errors. :-)

Let's see what Rafael thinks.

Kind regards

The code to handle the return value could still get in in v3.18-rc.
So the errors would only be unhandled for a short while in -next.

Right.

Shall we take this as a Reviewed-by or Acked-by for the series?  :)

> Doing it ASAP (in v3.18-rc3)?

IMO, this isn't at all appropriate for -rc since it's not fixing a
regression. Also, this series includes other cleanups that are not
really fixes either.  At this point of the -rc cycle, we need to focus
only on regression fixes.

> Delaying this to v3.19-rc2, which will require an atomic fixing of its users?
> Any other option?

I don't see any users of this in -next yet, so I think doing a simple
patch to the prototype and fixing up any users before they hit -next is
the right approach.  Errors will be ignored, but that's not change from
today. :)

Then the rest of this cleanup and behavior change stuff can continue to
be reviewed and get broader testing before merge.

No, I still have to review/test this series.

Changing ->attach_dev() to return an error code again is fine for me.

Okay, I will follow your suggestions and send a patch that only change
the prototype, intended as a fix for rc[n].
