Propagate error code on failure. Also changed %ld to %d in dev_err to use ret variable rather than putting two calls to PTR_ERR. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds the first problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ identifier ret; expression e1,e2; @@ ( if (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\)) { ... return ret; } | ret = 0 ) ... when != ret = e1 when != &ret *if(...) { ... when != ret = e2 when forall return ret; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/video/fbdev/ssd1307fb.c | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/video/fbdev/ssd1307fb.c b/drivers/video/fbdev/ssd1307fb.c index 3e153c0..1611215 100644 --- a/drivers/video/fbdev/ssd1307fb.c +++ b/drivers/video/fbdev/ssd1307fb.c @@ -656,8 +656,9 @@ static int ssd1307fb_probe(struct i2c_client *client, bl = backlight_device_register(bl_name, &client->dev, par, &ssd1307fb_bl_ops, NULL); if (IS_ERR(bl)) { - dev_err(&client->dev, "unable to register backlight device: %ld\n", - PTR_ERR(bl)); + ret = PTR_ERR(bl); + dev_err(&client->dev, "unable to register backlight device: %d\n", + ret); goto bl_init_error; } -- 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
