Linux mainline fork with MSM8998 patches | https://mainline.space | Currently supported devices:

There is some debate about whether it's deemed acceptable to call
dev_err_probe() if you know that the error code can never be
-EPROBE_DEFER. Clarify in the function comments that this is
OK. Specifically this makes us able to transform code like this:
ret = do_something_that_cant_defer();
if (ret < 0) {
dev_err(dev, "The foo failed to bar (%pe)\n", ERR_PTR(ret));
return ret;
}
to code like this:
ret = do_something_that_cant_defer();
if (ret < 0)
return dev_err_probe(dev, ret, "The foo failed to bar\n");
It is also possible that in the future folks might want a CONFIG
option to strip out all probe error strings to save space (keeping
non-probe errors) with the argument that probe errors rarely happen
after bringup. Having probe errors reported with a consistent function
would allow that.

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.
