Subject[PATCH] Revert "backlight: pwm: Handle EPROBE_DEFER while requesting the PWM"
Date
This reverts commit 68feaca0b13e453aa14ee064c1736202b48b342f.
This commit breaks legacy platforms, for which :
(a) no pwm table is added (legacy platforms)
(b) in this case, in pwm_get(), pmw_lookup_list is empty, and therefore
chosen == NULL, and therefore pwm_get() returns NULL, and pwm_get()
returns -EPROBE_DEFER
(c) as a consequence, this code is unreachable in pwm_bl.c :
if (IS_ERR(pb->pwm)) {
ret = PTR_ERR(pb->pwm);
dev_info(&pdev->dev, "%s:%d(): %d\n", __func__, __LINE__, ret);
if (ret == -EPROBE_DEFER)
goto err_alloc;

dev_err(&pdev->dev, "unable to request PWM, trying legacy API\n");
pb->legacy = true;
pb->pwm = pwm_request(data->pwm_id, "pwm-backlight");

As this code is unreachable, all legacy platforms relying on pwm_id are
broken, amongst which pxa have been tested as broken.
