I agree completely.

Apparently there's a coccicheck flagging constructs like this; perhaps
that should be addressed. Julia?

Things like:

drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/gem.c:457:1-3: WARNING: PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO can be used

leading to:

 -	if (IS_ERR(bo))
 -		return PTR_ERR(bo);
 -
 -	return 0;
 +	return PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(bo);

I think we have consensus the error path and the happy day scenarios
should remain distinct. Moreover, I find PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() causes me to
pause for a moment while the original is a crystal clear immediately.


BR,
Jani.
