Commitc394159310("Input: soc_button_array - add support for newer surface devices") not only added support for the MSHW0040 ACPI HID, but for some reason it also makes changes to the error handling of the soc_button_lookup_gpio() call in soc_button_device_create(). Note ideally this seamingly unrelated change would have been made in a separate commit, with a message explaining the what and why of this change. I guess this change may have been added to deal with -EPROBE_DEFER errors, but in case of the existing support for PNP0C40 devices, treating -EPROBE_DEFER as any other error is deliberate, see the comment this commit adds for why. The actual returning of -EPROBE_DEFER to the caller of soc_button_probe() introduced by the new error checking causes a serious regression: On devices with so called virtual GPIOs soc_button_lookup_gpio() will always return -EPROBE_DEFER for these fake GPIOs, when this happens during the second call of soc_button_device_create() we already have successfully registered our first child. This causes the kernel to think we are making progress with probing things even though we unregister the child before again before we return the -EPROBE_DEFER. Since we are making progress the kernel will retry deferred-probes again immediately ending up stuck in a loop with the following showing in dmesg: [ 124.022697] input: gpio-keys as /devices/platform/INTCFD9:00/gpio-keys.0.auto/input/input6537 [ 124.040764] input: gpio-keys as /devices/platform/INTCFD9:00/gpio-keys.0.auto/input/input6538 [ 124.056967] input: gpio-keys as /devices/platform/INTCFD9:00/gpio-keys.0.auto/input/input6539 [ 124.072143] input: gpio-keys as /devices/platform/INTCFD9:00/gpio-keys.0.auto/input/input6540 [ 124.092373] input: gpio-keys as /devices/platform/INTCFD9:00/gpio-keys.0.auto/input/input6541 [ 124.108065] input: gpio-keys as /devices/platform/INTCFD9:00/gpio-keys.0.auto/input/input6542 [ 124.128483] input: gpio-keys as /devices/platform/INTCFD9:00/gpio-keys.0.auto/input/input6543 [ 124.147141] input: gpio-keys as /devices/platform/INTCFD9:00/gpio-keys.0.auto/input/input6544 [ 124.165070] input: gpio-keys as /devices/platform/INTCFD9:00/gpio-keys.0.auto/input/input6545 [ 124.179775] input: gpio-keys as /devices/platform/INTCFD9:00/gpio-keys.0.auto/input/input6546 [ 124.202726] input: gpio-keys as /devices/platform/INTCFD9:00/gpio-keys.0.auto/input/input6547 <continues on and on and on> And 1 CPU core being stuck at 100% and udev hanging since it is waiting for the modprobe of soc_button_array to return. This patch reverts the soc_button_lookup_gpio() error handling changes, fixing this regression.

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.
