I think the intention of the warning is that the err value from
lm3530_init_registers() can be directly returned, like this:
err = lm3530_init_registers(drvdata);
if (err < 0) {
dev_err(&client->dev,
"Register Init failed: %d\n", err);
- return -ENODEV;
+ return err;
}
That will remove the assumption that lm3530_init_registers() always
returns -ENODEV on error.
