Hi Dan,

We can't return 0 from the bnad_get_flash_partition_by_offset() on error as the flash partition 0 is a optrom partition. Also we got comments to return proper Linux error codes as ethtool application expects so.

What we can do is change the return type of the bnad_get_flash_partition_by_offset() to int.

Thanks,
Rasesh
