[ Upstream commit 839612d23ffd933174db911ce56dc3f3ca883ec5 ] I have a board where these two lines are always printed during boot: imx-dwmac 30bf0000.ethernet: Cannot register the MDIO bus imx-dwmac 30bf0000.ethernet: stmmac_dvr_probe: MDIO bus (id: 1) registration failed It's perfectly fine, and the device is successfully (and silently, as far as the console goes) probed later. Use dev_err_probe() instead, which will demote these messages to debug level (thus removing the alarming messages from the console) when the error is -EPROBE_DEFER, and also has the advantage of including the error code if/when it happens to be something other than -EPROBE_DEFER. While here, add the missing \n to one of the format strings.

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.
