[PATCH 0/2] Handle probe defer properly in MTD core

[Manivannan Sadhasivam]

Hello,

These two patches aims at fixing the -EPROBE_DEFER handling in the MTD
core and also in the Qcom nand driver. The "qcomsmem" parser depends on
the QCOM_SMEM driver to parse the partitions defined in the shared
memory. Due to the DT layout, the SMEM driver might probe after the NAND
driver. In that case, the -EPROBE_DEFER returned by qcom_smem_get() in
the parser will fail to propagate till the driver core. So this will
result in the partitions not getting parsed even after the SMEM driver is
available.

So fix this issue by handling the -EPROBE_DEFER error properly in both
MTD core and in the Qcom nand driver. This issue is observed on Qcom SDX55
based Telit FN980 EVB and in SDX55-MTP.

Thanks,
Mani
