We never save the return value from chipio_write() so "err" is always zero here, not less than zero. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> --- The other option would be to save the return value. I don't have the hardware and I worried that there was a reason we don't save it. The current code is misleading because it looks like it's checked until you notice that the "err = " bit is missing. diff --git a/sound/pci/hda/patch_ca0132.c b/sound/pci/hda/patch_ca0132.c index 35abe3c..92f1f0c 100644 --- a/sound/pci/hda/patch_ca0132.c +++ b/sound/pci/hda/patch_ca0132.c @@ -733,8 +733,6 @@ static int ca0132_hp_switch_put(struct snd_kcontrol *kcontrol, /* *valp 0 is mute, 1 is unmute */ data = (data & 0x7f) | (*valp ? 0 : 0x80); chipio_write(codec, REG_CODEC_MUTE, data); - if (err < 0) - return err; spec->curr_hp_switch = *valp; @@ -775,8 +773,6 @@ static int ca0132_speaker_switch_put(struct snd_kcontrol *kcontrol, /* *valp 0 is mute, 1 is unmute */ data = (data & 0xef) | (*valp ? 0 : 0x10); chipio_write(codec, REG_CODEC_MUTE, data); - if (err < 0) - return err; spec->curr_speaker_switch = *valp; @@ -824,14 +820,10 @@ static int ca0132_hp_volume_put(struct snd_kcontrol *kcontrol, val = 31 - left_vol; data = (data & 0xe0) | val; chipio_write(codec, REG_CODEC_HP_VOL_L, data); - if (err < 0) - return err; val = 31 - right_vol; data = (data & 0xe0) | val; chipio_write(codec, REG_CODEC_HP_VOL_R, data); - if (err < 0) - return err; spec->curr_hp_volume[0] = left_vol; spec->curr_hp_volume[1] = right_vol; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
