As long as -EBUSY comes form sysc_check_active_timer(), there is no problem besides the noise. So clearly state what you want to fix, so is it only the noise. Of course I would also like the noise to be gone. I also stumbled across this. Bringing this to discussion is of course good. Changing it to -ENXIO has side effects as more lines are executed and the device is touched although it might be already in use by dmtimer_systimer. As far as I understand things: there are broken timers, timers used by clocksource and timers generally useable. And we return -ENXIO for the broken ones... The main issue here is that this needs more documentation/comments. I might of course be wrong... Regards, Andreas

I'm working on a custom board and such "noise" makes difficult to know if the issue come from the board hardware, the SoC, the devicetree, the TI driver or the kernel itself. > > Changing it to -ENXIO has side effects as more lines are executed and the > device is touched although it might be already in use by dmtimer_systimer. The previous fix [1] doesn't say anything about the -EBUSY case and seems to forgot updating the error handling for sysc_check_active_timer() (similar to [2]) > > As far as I understand things: there are broken timers, timers used by clocksource > and timers generally useable.

I get it now, the last commit [1] actually revert the commit [3] (removing the error message) by adding back -EBUSY as intended initially [4] for all TI SoC except for SOC_3430. sysc_check_active_timer() returning -EBUSY affect 3 timers (timer1 (clockevent), timer15, timer16) used on AM57xx [5]. ti-sysc: probe of 4ae18000.target-module failed with error -16 (timer1_target) ti-sysc: probe of 4882c000.target-module failed with error -16 (timer15_target) ti-sysc: probe of 4882e000.target-module failed with error -16 (timer6_target) I'm agree, this issue deserve more documentation/comments and it would be better to avoid such noise.
