Zero return is generally true and non-zero is false. Then this statement in the probe then can go from if (!tsl4531_check_id(client)) { dev_err(&client->dev, "no TSL4531 sensor\n"); return -ENODEV; } to if (tsl4531_check_id(client)) { dev_err(&client->dev, "no TSL4531 sensor\n"); return -ENODEV; } And if then return ret can be honored in probe.
