[PATCH 01/14] parport: return value of attach and parport_register_driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



as of now, we are not checking if attach or parport_register_driver
has succeeded or failed. But attach can fail in the places where they
have been used. Lets check the return of attach, and if attach fails
then parport_register_driver should also fail. We can have multiple
parallel port so we only mark attach as failed only if it has never
returned a 0.
