mainlining shenanigans
Right now, if an error is encountered during the SREV register read (i.e. an EIO in ath9k_regread()), that error code gets passed all the way to __ath9k_hw_init(), where it is visible during the "Chip rev not supported" message. ath9k_htc 1-1.4:1.0: ath9k_htc: HTC initialized with 33 credits ath: phy2: Mac Chip Rev 0x0f.3 is not supported by this driver ath: phy2: Unable to initialize hardware; initialization status: -95 ath: phy2: Unable to initialize hardware; initialization status: -95 ath9k_htc: Failed to initialize the device Check for -EIO explicitly in ath9k_hw_read_revisions() and return a boolean based on the success of the operation. Check for that in __ath9k_hw_init() and abort with a more debugging-friendly message if reading the revisions wasn't successful. ath9k_htc 1-1.4:1.0: ath9k_htc: HTC initialized with 33 credits ath: phy2: Failed to read SREV register ath: phy2: Could not read hardware revision ath: phy2: Unable to initialize hardware; initialization status: -95 ath: phy2: Unable to initialize hardware; initialization status: -95 ath9k_htc: Failed to initialize the device This helps when debugging by directly showing the first point of failure and it could prevent possible errors if a 0x0f.3 revision is ever supported.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
