[BISECTED REGRESSION] v4.8-rc: DT/OCTEON driver probing broken
Hi,
Commit 44a7185c2ae6 ("of/platform: Add common method to populate default
bus") added new arch_initcall of_platform_default_populate_init() that
will be called before device_initcall octeon_publish_devices(). Now the
of_platform_bus_probe() called in octeon_publish_devices() is apparently
doing nothing:
[ 52.331353] calling octeon_publish_devices+0x0/0x14 @ 1
[ 52.331358] OF: of_platform_bus_probe()
[ 52.331362] OF: starting at: /
[ 52.331378] OF: of_platform_bus_create() - skipping /soc@0, already populated
[ 52.331394] initcall octeon_publish_devices+0x0/0x14 returned 0 after 29
usecs
This also means that USB etc. won't get probed.
Any ideas what would be the proper fix for this? Changing
octeon_publish_devices() to arch_initcall seems to work but that may be
a bit hackish... Also, there might be also other MIPS boards affected
(arch/mips/netlogic/xlp/dt.c, arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-dt.c).

Can you try reverting this hunk. I don't think it should be needed and
it is preventing /soc@0 children from being probed. If things still
don't work, then it should purely be a probe ordering problem. I have
some better fixes in mind, but not for 4.8. So if this doesn't work,
then the same fix as PPC is fine.

Nevermind, reverting this hunk is not enough.

Rob, did anything happen on this front? This issue is still on the list of regression for 4.8, and it seems to me nothing happened in the past ten days -- or is this discussed somewhere else?.

Lo! Kefeng, below report made it to the list of regression for 4.8, but
afaics nothing happened after the initial report. Is there maybe some
reason why it shouldn't be on the list of regressions at all? Or was the
problem discussed elsewhere? Or is it even fixed already? I noticed
https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/fc520f8b4f (of/platform: disable the
of_platform_default_populate_init() for all the ppc board), but that
change is PPC specific.
Ciao, Thorsten

There is a fix proposal here:
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/14041/
There is still few other boards remaining that use of_platform_bus_probe()
from device_initcall, but who knows, maybe they are not affected.
