     I think it maybe my fault before, because I treat get resource and 
irq succeed. But now I have two questions  to ask you:

     Q1: About asic3_mfd_probe()?

           In the function asic3_mfd_probe(), if get resource or irq 
failed, the value returned just detected and dev_dbg() error message, 
but there were no error return. What I think the modify should be as 
follows:

     mem_sdio = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 1);
     if (!mem_sdio) {
         dev_dbg(asic->dev, "no SDIO MEM resource\n");
         ret = -EINVAL;
         goto out;
     }

     irq = platform_get_irq(pdev, 1);
     if (irq < 0) {
         dev_dbg(asic->dev, "no SDIO IRQ resource\n");
         ret = irq;
         goto out;
     }

     If the function do like this, the 'ret = 0' in line 993 maybe 
redundant.

    Q2: About asic3_probe()?

           In the line 995, if the function asic3_irq_probe() failed, it 
will print error message by the internally called function 
platform_get_irq(), so the dev_err() in the line 997 is redundant, 
should be delete.

     I'll wait actively, and submit the corresponding patch according to 
your reply.

Thanks,

Tang Bin
