A quick look at of_alias_get_id shows that in the error case it returns
-ENODEV, too, but still it's better style to propagate the value as is.

One more comment on serial_imx_probe_dt:

It is used as follows:

        ret = serial_imx_probe_dt(sport, pdev);
	if (ret == -ENODEV)
		serial_imx_probe_pdata(sport, pdev);

IMHO you should distinguish here more carefully between the different
-ENODEV cases. It's OK to call serial_imx_probe_pdata() if

	!pdev->dev.of_node

but if

	of_alias_get_id(np, "serial")

returns an error isn't that something that should make the probing of
the device fail instead of relying on platform data and the device id
that are non-existant and more or less random respectively if the device
is instantiated by dt?

Best regards
Uwe

The only errno that of_alias_get_id could return is also -ENODEV though.

Shawn

Yes, agreed.  Care to send a fix for that too?

I queued this for 3.3, and will send a pull-request to Greg.
