Hello: This series was applied to netdev/net.git (refs/heads/master): On Tue, 17 Aug 2021 20:38:00 -0700 you wrote:
This patch series was started due to -EPROBE_DEFER not being handled correctly in mdio_mux_init() and causing issues [1]. While at it, I also did some more error handling fixes and clean ups. The -EPROBE_DEFER fix is the last patch. Ideally, in the last patch we'd treat any error similar to -EPROBE_DEFER but I'm not sure if it'll break any board/platforms where some child mdiobus never successfully registers. If we treated all errors similar to -EPROBE_DEFER, then none of the child mdiobus will work and that might be a regression. If people are sure this is not a real case, then I can fix up the last patch to always fail the entire mdio-mux init if any of the child mdiobus registration fails. [...]
