[PATCH v4 4/4] media: nxp: Add dev_err_probe() to all error paths in *async_register() helpers

[PATCH v4 4/4] media: nxp: Add dev_err_probe() to all error paths in *async_register() helpers
Posted by Frank Li 3 weeks, 3 days ago 
Add dev_err_probe() to all error branches in the *async_register() helpers
to provide clearer diagnostic information when device registration fails.

Drop the explicit error message after returning from
mipi_csis_async_register(), as the error is already reported by this
helper.

No functional change.

That's not quite exact, there are functional changes.

It's not the remote endpoint, but the local endpoint.

I'd write

+				     "failed to parse endpoint\n");

to match the imx-mipi-csis.c driver.
