I've become increasingly opposed to the magic -1 error return in the
kernel. Basically all negative error codes have a meaning, and -1 is
-EPERM. (I even have a branch converting a bunch of "return -1" to
something more meaningful.)

But I guess -1 wasn't really the main point about your comment anyway.

Agreed.

> I think ENOENT might confuse users.

So would you rather just skip printing the error code returned by
parse_dmc_fw()? I take it this was really the main point?

BR,
