I think a better change is to use the ret variable, like this
--- a/drivers/fpga/dfl-pci.c
+++ b/drivers/fpga/dfl-pci.c
@@ -312,7 +312,7 @@ static int cci_pci_sriov_configure(struct pci_dev *pcidev, int num_vfs)
}
}
- return num_vfs;
+ return ret;
}
The existing use of returning num_vfs is not right, the function should return 0/err not num_vfs. currently it is reusing the 0 passed in with num_vfs to mean disable as the 0 return status. it should be properly returning ret.
