Return -ENXIO if device property array access functions don't find
a suitable firmware interface.

This lets drivers decide if they should use available platform data
instead.

I see two options: Add a comment above, or change the calling code to

	...
	else if (is_pset(fwnode))
		return pset_prop_read_array(to_pset(fwnode), propname,
                          	            DEV_PROP_STRING, val, nval);
	return -ENXIO;

which would make it obvious and avoid side effects if the code is changed
later on. Would you be ok with this ?

Thanks,
Guenter

This isn't exactly straightforward, because it relies on the fact that
pset_prop_read_array() is the last thing tried by FWNODE_PROP_READ_ARRAY()
and fwnode_property_read_string_array().  A comment about that might be
helpful.

Thanks,
Rafael

The second option is obviously cleaner to me and I prefer cleaner code. :-)
