Of all the pr_* functions, pr_err() is the only function that returns a value, which is -1. The code in parse_options is the only code that relies on pr_err() returning a value, and that value must be exactly -1, because it is being treated differently than the other return values. This makes the code opaque, because it's not immediately obvious where that value comes from, and fragile, as a change in the return value of pr_err would break it. Make pr_err() more like the other functions and don't return a value.
