That is the case before it calls i2c_add_adapter(). I know what you mean, but i2c_add_adapter does more, and it can fail because the adapter is *not* ready to transfer. Seeing the success message before is also confusing. When i2c_add_adapter() runs, it will start probing devices on the bus. This yields very confusing output, as it will output things in a reversed order: - device X on I2C bus - device Y on I2C bus - cdns-i2c ff03.i2c: 100 kHz mmio ff03 irq 197 I agree. That being said, somewhen I started working on moving such messages into the core to save string space and have consistent output. Then, we can print at the proper time. So, until then, we should be consistent with the other driver, I'd say. Makes sense. I'll create a v2 patch to just move the i2c_add_adapter to after writing the configuration registers, and leave the dmesg output as is. Thanks for reviewing, Mike.

The information sent to the kernel log buffer here is quite trivial, probably dev_info() can be just removed, but in any case it should be a separate change. Fine with me too.

I am not sure I get you here, but to not have false positive success messages, I'd think that should be all in one patch. Regards, Wolfram
