It's for backporting to make it easier. (I deliberately left the context above) I can fold them if maintainers think it's okay to do.

Logically (and ideally) it would be three different patches: 1) introduce helper 2) use helper 3) fix places where it's needed to be done But the above scheme doesn't fit backporting idea (we don't backport new features and APIs without really necessity). So, the options left are: Option a: One patch (feels a bit like above) Option b: Two patches like in this series (yes, you are correct about disadvantages) > But, as you say, it is the maintainers' call.

If I got you correctly, you want to have two patches, one for backporting and one for current, correct? But how can we backport something which has never been upstreamed? -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko

Currently it's possible that character device interface may return the error codes which are not supposed to be seen by user space. In this case it's EPROBE_DEFER. Wrap it to return -ENODEV instead as sysfs does.
