From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> Convert a zero return value on error to a negative one, as returned elsewhere in the function. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> ( if@p1 (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\)) { ... return ret; } | ret@p1 = 0 ) ... when != ret = e1 when != &ret *if(...) { ... when != ret = e2 when forall return ret; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/mfd/menelaus.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/mfd/menelaus.c b/drivers/mfd/menelaus.c index 5e2667a..16070d8 100644 --- a/drivers/mfd/menelaus.c +++ b/drivers/mfd/menelaus.c @@ -1240,8 +1240,10 @@ static int menelaus_probe(struct i2c_client *client, pr_info("Menelaus rev %d.%d\n", rev >> 4, rev & 0x0f); val = menelaus_read_reg(MENELAUS_VCORE_CTRL1); - if (val < 0) + if (val < 0) { + err = val; goto fail; + } if (val & (1 << 7)) menelaus->vcore_hw_mode = 1; else -- 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
