From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> The return value of get_status() is passed to user space on errors, so it should not return acpi_status values then. Make it return error values that are meaningful for user space instead. This also makes a Clang warning regarding the initialization of a local variable in get_status() go away.
