[PATCH 1/7] phy: qcom-mipi-csi2: fix -EEXIST probe failure on single power-domain SoCs
From: Anusha Arun Nandi
Date: Fri Oct 16 2026 - 19:55:18 EST
sa8775p, qcs8300 and sc7280 each list exactly one power-domain ("top")
on the CSI2 PHY node. For a device with a single power-domain phandle,
the generic platform-bus code (platform_probe() ->
dev_pm_domain_attach()) auto-attaches it via genpd_dev_pm_attach()
before the driver's own probe() runs. phy_qcom_mipi_csi2_probe() then
unconditionally calls devm_pm_domain_attach_list(), which fails with
-EEXIST because dev->pm_domain is already set, and the driver treats
that as fatal:
qcom-mipi-csi2-phy ace6000.phy: error -EEXIST: Failed to attach
power-domain list
qcom-mipi-csi2-phy ace6000.phy: probe with driver qcom-mipi-csi2-phy
failed with error -17
x1e80100 is unaffected: it lists three power-domains, so the generic
code does not auto-attach any of them (auto-attach only applies to
single-power-domain devices); the driver's explicit attach is the
only one that runs.
For the single power-domain case, call dev_pm_domain_attach() instead
of devm_pm_domain_attach_list(): it returns early when dev->pm_domain
is already set, so csi2phy->pd_list is left NULL rather than built up
by hand. The three call sites that walk pd_list for genpd
performance-state scaling now guard against a NULL pd_list, which is
harmless since scaling is unused (scaled = false) on every SoC that has
a single "top" domain.
