The snippet in question: rc = chip->ops->send(chip, buf, count); if (rc < 0) { if (rc != -EPIPE) dev_err(&chip->dev, "%s: tpm_send: error %d\n", __func__, rc); return rc; } if (chip->flags & TPM_CHIP_FLAG_IRQ) goto out_recv; 'send()' ought to return zero on success case. This is how the snippet was before applying any patches scheduled for v5.1: rc = chip->ops->send(chip, buf, count); if (rc < 0) { if (rc != -EPIPE) dev_err(&chip->dev, "%s: tpm_send: error %d\n", __func__, rc); return rc; } if (chip->flags & TPM_CHIP_FLAG_IRQ) goto out_recv; Does not compute. /Jarkko
