Hi Saravana,
Please see the bisection report below about the clk-mt8173-mm and
mtk-mmsys drivers failing to probe on mt8173-elm-hana with
next-20210111.
Reports aren't automatically sent to the public while we're
trialing new bisection features on kernelci.org but this one
looks valid.
Some details can be found here:
https://kernelci.org/test/plan/id/5ffbeef7f97770d9ccc94cf0/
The bisection was run with CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES=y and only
against the clk-mt8173-mm test case, but it can be reproduced
with a plain arm64 defconfig and the mtk-mmsys driver is also
confirmed to be failing to probe with this patch.
Your commit message acknowledges the fact that it might "break"
some drivers, or rather that some drivers might need to be fixed:
> If this patch prevents some devices from probing, it's very likely due
> to the system having one or more device drivers that "probe"/set up a

> device for it. [...]
It sounds like this is what needs to be done here, so I've also
put some MediaTek maintainers on CC.
Thanks,
Guillaume
