Use the value read from the REVID register in order to check for the presence of the device. A read of all ones is treated as if the device is not present, and hence probing is ended. This fixes an issue when running as a Xen PVH dom0, where the ACPI DSDT table is provided unmodified to dom0 and hence contains the pinctrl devices, but the MMIO region(s) containing the device registers might not be mapped in the guest physical memory map if such region(s) are not exposed on a PCI device BAR or marked as reserved in the host memory map.Any particular point that we can use in the Fixes tag?
Hm, I haven't seen those issues up until 91d898e51e60 ('pinctrl:
intel: Convert capability list to features'), but the device wasn't
working properly for sure, as the registers where not accessible, it
just didn't lead to a kernel crash.

Suggested-by: Andy Shevchenko <andy@kernel.org>Hmm... was it that address I have used? In any case I think my @linux.intel.com is better.
I just used the same as the one that's on the MAINTAINERS file, because I already had that n my Cc list. I can change to the @intel one if that's your preference.

/* Determine community features based on the revision */ value = readl(regs + REVID); + if (value == ~0u) + return -ENODATA;I think -ENODEV is more appropriate here. Also comment above should be adjusted to explain this check.
Right, will change and send v3. Thanks.
