[PATCH 01/18] property: Return true in fwnode_device_is_available for node types that do not implement this operation

From: Daniel Scally
Date: Mon Nov 30 2020 - 08:33:04 EST


Some types of fwnode_handle do not implement the device_is_available()
check, such as those created by software_nodes. There isn't really a
meaningful way to check for the availability of a device that doesn't
actually exist, so if the check isn't implemented just assume that the
"device" is present.
