I did a search to see if returning the zero instead of the ret was a
common mistake and it seems like it might be.  I did:

grep 'if (ret != 0)' drivers/   -r -A1 -n | grep "return 0;" | perl -ne 's/.c-(\d+)-/.c:$1/; print'

drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_display.c:111                   return 0;
drivers/regulator/wm8400-regulator.c:47         return 0;
drivers/platform/x86/dell-laptop.c:859          return 0;
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/dibx000_common.c:213                                return 0;
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/dibx000_common.c:217                                return 0;
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/dibx000_common.c:235                                return 0;
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/dibx000_common.c:239                                return 0;
drivers/hv/channel.c:898                return 0;
drivers/hv/channel.c:944                return 0;

A bunch of those look suspicious but I don't know the subsystems well
enough to be sure.  Can you check the last two?

regards,
