It's caused by either vio_register_device_node() fails to set dev->of_node or the missing "compatible" property. To keep align with the definition of modalias in modalias_show(), we remove the return of ENODEV in such cases. The failure messages can also be suppressed with this change. v2: keep align the definition of modalias with modalias_show() Signed-off-by: Lidong Zhong <lidong.zh...@suse.com> --- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/vio.c | 8 ++------ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/vio.c b/arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/vio.c index 90ff85c879bf..b2babfdbc40b 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/vio.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/vio.c @@ -1592,13 +1592,9 @@ static int vio_hotplug(const struct device *dev, struct kobj_uevent_env *env) const char *cp; dn = dev->of_node; - if (!dn) - return -ENODEV; - cp = of_get_property(dn, "compatible", NULL); - if (!cp) - return -ENODEV; + if (dn && (cp = of_get_property(dn, "compatible", NULL))) + add_uevent_var(env, "MODALIAS=vio:T%sS%s", vio_dev->type, cp); - add_uevent_var(env, "MODALIAS=vio:T%sS%s", vio_dev->type, cp); return 0; } -- 2.35.3
