For the record, all existing callers end up ignoring this return value. Honestly, I don't know if improving this function is worth your effort if it's working for you as-is. There are no users except xhci-sideband and probably shouldn't be - besides failing to fix stalled endpoints, this function also does nothing to prevent automatic restart of the EP when new URBs are submitted through xhci_hcd, so it is mainly relevant for sideband users who never submit URBs the usual way. My issue with this function is that it is simply poorly documented what it is or isn't expected to achieve (both here and in the calling code in xhci-sideband.c), and the changelog message is wrong to suggest that the default completion handler will run (unless somewhere there are patches to make it happen), making it look like this code can do things that it really cannot do. And this is apparently a public, exported API. Regards, Michal
