Geode LX AES/RNG driver triggers warning

Show all headers | View raw

Hi!

I recently tested kernel v4.9 on my AMD Geode platform and noticed that its AES hardware driver triggers this warning on initialization:

[    1.265708] ------------[ cut here ]------------

I narrowed it down to commit 6e9b5e76882c ("hwrng: geode - Migrate to managed API") which seems to introduce this. It looks to me like some issue between devres, the Geode hwrng and AES drivers which both use the same PCI device.

I'm no expert here, but I curious if this will cause any issues when using the hardware crypto drivers and also what's the best way to get rid of this?

Thanks,
David
